Late adult anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery presentation by heart failure, underwent takeuchi repair – A case report

Abstract

The anomalous origin of the left coronary artery (LCA) from the pulmonary artery (PA) is a very uncommon congenital anomalous that can be fatal. The adult type of this coronary abnormality can be the presence of varied from asymptomatic to sudden cardiac death. In this study, we present a 35-year-old female with a diagnosis of LCA from the PA that present with exertional dyspnea due to systolic dysfunction after myocardial ischemia secondary to this anomaly. She underwent successful Takeuchi repair without any complications.
