Anomalous coronary artery from the pulmonary artery diagnosed in adulthood: a case series on variations of coronary anatomy and the diagnostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anomalous coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital disorder with high mortality rates in infancy. Adult cases can present with life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.

Case summary

We report three cases of adults with anomalous pulmonary origin of each of the main coronary branches. The first patient with an anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery presented with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The second patient with an anomalous circumflex artery from the pulmonary artery was evaluated for a bicuspid aortic valve and a suspected coronary fistula but was otherwise asymptomatic. The third patient with an anomalous right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery presented with anginal symptoms. In all cases, th
