    Author: Bharati S, Chandra N, Stephenson LW, Wagner HR, Weinberg PM, Lev M.

    Abstract:
    Origin of the left coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery has rarely been documented. This is the first such case in a heart with an intact ventricular septum and paraductal coarctation of the aorta. Although an antemortem diagnosis was made and the anomalous left coronary artery was ligated, the patient, a 3 1/2 month old infant, died 1 day after surgery. Autopsy confirmed the diagnosis, but revealed that the left coronary artery was dominant. It is believed that the fatal outcome in the infant was, in part, due to the dominance of the left coronary artery and the effects of the coarctation on the already ischemic left ventricle.
