Anormalous Origin of Left Coronary Artery from Pulmonary Artery / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery(ALCAPA) is a rare fatal congenital anormaly that needs early surgical intervention. Many reports say that the choice of operative procedure is reimplantation of the left coronary artery into the ascending aorta. We experienced the surgical management of a case of the ALCAPA. The patient was 44 days old and 3.45 kg weighed female baby who had a symptom of congestive heart failure. She underwent implantation of coronary artery on the aorta with cardiopulmonary bypass and recovered without any complications.
