Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA) with Intramural Aortic Route / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

We report a 5-year-old girl with a diagnosis of an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery with an intramural aortic route. The left coronary artery entered the aortic wall running parallel to the aorta. With the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass, she underwent establishment of two coronary artery systems by intraaortic reconstruction (unroofing and anastomosis). Her postoperative course was uneventful. Postoperative cineangiogram demonstrated patency and prograde flow in the new coronary systems.
