  • Title: Multiplane transesophageal echocardiography in diagnosis of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery: a case report.
    Author: Hsu SY, Lin FC, Chang HJ, Yeh SJ, Wu D.
    Journal: J Am Soc Echocardiogr; 1998 Jun; 11(6):668-72. PubMed ID: 9657407.
    Abstract:
    Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery in adults is difficult to identify reliably by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). We describe a 32-year-old woman with this coronary anomaly mimicking a coronary artery fistula on conventional TTE study. This anomaly was suggested by multiplane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and subsequently confirmed by coronary angiography. Multiplane TEE thus may serve as a first-line diagnostic tool for detecting anomalous origin of coronary arteries.
