Anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA).
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery also recognized as Bland White Garland syndrome is a very rare congenital condition. A two-months old baby boy presented with dyspnoea for two weeks and a pansystolic murmur on auscultation. The base line investigations showed cardiomegaly and bilateral basal haze on X-ray chest. ECG showed ST elevation in leads l and AVl an...
متن کاملThe Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA): a Case Series and Brief Review
Background Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital cardiovascular defect that occurs in approximately 1/300 000 live births or 0.5% of children with congenital heart disease. There are two types of ALCAPA syndrome: the infant type and the adult type. The most infants experience myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure, and approximately 9...
متن کاملThe caveats in the diagnosis of anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA)
Anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is an infrequent, well described, but important anomaly of the coronary origin. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment of the disease can be life saving. However, there are several potential sources of error in the seemingly simple stereotype diagnostic pattern. We report a case of ALCAPA and allude to some of the ca...
متن کاملDifferent Presentation of Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery in Adults: Case Reports
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation. We report three cases of ALCAPA who survived to adulthood. The first case was a 51-year-old woman who complained of typical chest pain that was diagnosed with ALCAPA using cardiac catheterization and coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA). The second case was a 30-...
متن کاملAnomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery associated with an aorto-pulmonary septal defect.
Aorto-pulmonary septal defects and anomalous origins of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery are briefly discussed. The difficulties of diagnosis and surgical correction are put forward in a situation when the left coronary artery arises from a site of high pressure and saturation, such as the pulmonary artery in the presence of an aorto-pulmonary septal defect, as in the case described.
