Abstract

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly. It affects 1 of every 300,000 live births. Up to 90% of patients with ALCAPA syndrome die within the 1st year of life due to “coronary steal” phenomenon. We present a case of 8-year-old girl with anomalous origin of left main coronary artery from right pulmonary artery with preserved left ventricular systolic function, associated with myxomatous degeneration of mitral valve and severe MR.
