[Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery in adults. Long-term follow up]. / Origen anómalo de la arteria coronaria izquierda desde la arteria pulmonar en adultos. Seguimiento a largo plazo.

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a serious pathology, that untreated supposes a high mortality. Usually it becomes symptomatic in early infancy, but some cases reach adult life with no symptoms. We report four cases diagnosed in teenagers and adults, three of them with the oldest ages known in worldwide literature and one of them the oldest reported until now. We have completed a long follow-up in the various surgical techniques, where we did not observe any differences in their prognosis, and we recommend an anti-arrhythmia treatment joined with surgical treatment in adult patients with this pathology.
