ABSTRACT

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) accounts for 0.023% of all congenital heart defects and is seen in every 30.000 to 300.000 live births. We herein present our 11-month-old case diagnosed to have and operated for ALCAPA since ALCAPA is an important and treatable cause of dilated cardiomyopathy in infants.
