Imaging options for defining anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.

ABSTRACT: Anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a rare type of congenital heart disease (CHD). According to the establishment of collateral circulation and the abnormal anatomy of coronary arteries, there are several clinical types. In some clinical types, serious cardiac insufficiency can arise in the early stage of the condition, which, if not promptly treated, can endanger the patient's life. Up to 90% of infants with an anomaly involving the left coronary artery die within the first year of life.
