| Popis: | WOS: 000421983000008 PubMed ID: 26363748 Anomalous origin of the circumflex coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital coronary anomaly. While it generally follows an asymptomatic course, if undiagnosed it may lead to severe clinical outcomes, including sudden death. The condition can be masked by associated defects, so when it is clinically suspected, diagnosis must be confirmed by conventional and/or magnetic resonance angiography, even if echocardiography clearly shows coronary roots. This report describes a patient who underwent neonatal surgery for aortic coarctation and was diagnosed with coronary artery anomaly at 15 months old. |
