    Author: Das M, Mahindrakar P, Das D, Behera SK, Chowdhury SR, Bandyopadhyay B.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2011 Aug; 92(2):735-7. PubMed ID: 21801936.
    Abstract:
    The usual presentation of anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery is severe left-sided heart failure and mitral valve insufficiency presenting during the first months of life. The manifestations of left heart failure may be masked if pulmonary artery pressure remains high. We believe this is a rarest of rare case of anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery with severe mitral stenosis and pulmonary hypertension in which pulmonary hypertension, along with good collateral circulation helped to preserve left ventricular function.
