Anomalous origin of additional coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery in complex congenital heart disease

Cardiovasc Pathol. 2008 May-Jun;17(3):190-1. doi: 10.1016/j.carpath.2007.03.007. Epub 2007 Jun 20.

Abstract

Anomalous origin of coronary arteries is a rare congenital defect and usually presents as an isolated defect. In only 5% of cases, it may be associated with other cardiac anomalies. In this article, we present a case of a newborn with a very complex congenital cardiac disease accompanied with an anomalous origin of an additional coronary artery.
