【 摘 要 】
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital defect and usually diagnosed within the first 2 months of life. Only 10% of patients survive to adulthood largely in part to the formation of extensive collaterals from the right to left coronary arteries. We present a case of ALCAPA diagnosed in an asymptomatic adult through a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
