Abstract : Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly which represents one of the most common causes of myocardial ischemia and infarction in children. This anomaly, if left untreated, results in a very high mortality rate within the first year of life. Yet, immediate surgical correction can lead to excellent results.
