β¦ Synopsis
An adult patient is presented in whom anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery was diagnosed in infancy. Initial treatment included a palliative poudrage procedure. Resulting widespread, dense adhesions were encountered during reoperation in adulthood and precluded direct reimplantation of the left coronary artery into the aorta. instead, a tunnel within the pulmonary artery was constructed from the aorta to the left coronary ostium using a baffle of woven Dacron. Preoperative and postoperative studies showed improvement in ejection fraction and resolution of diaphragmatic hypokinesis.

This is the first presentation of anomalous origin of right coronary artery (RCA) from mid-left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. A 77-year-old male was catheterized because of recent onset of fatigue during exertion. The LAD demonstrated 50-60% narrowing just proximal to the anomalous orig
## Abstract The anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital heart disease that affects 1 of 300,000 live births. We present the case of an 18βyearβold female presenting with chest pain and dyspnea after vigorous exercise, and whose twoβdimensional ech
