ABSTRACT
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), also termed Bland-White-Garland syndrome, is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly characterized by myocardial ischemia which becomes symptomatic during early infancy leading to infarction, left heart failure or even death. More than 90% of patients can be dead within first year of life if untreated, so adult type ALCAPA without surgical correction is quitely rare. We present a case of a 20-year-old man with ALPACA syndrome whose diagnosis took several years to be made because he was mistaken to have organic mitral regurgitation.
