    Abstract:
    A baby with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and hypoplastic right ventricle, with suspected right ventricle to coronary communications, was operated on for placing an aortopulmonary shunt. Postoperatively, the baby deteriorated with features of myocardial ischemia. Postmortem examination revealed anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery that caused significant coronary ischemia on ligation of the ductus arteriosus. Although coronary anomalies, including right ventricle dependent coronary circulation, has been well described, this is the first report of anomalous origin of coronary artery from pulmonary artery in a baby with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum.
