Anomalous Origin of Right Coronary Artery from Pulmonary Artery

Anomalous origin of right coronary artery from pulmonary artery is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. Anomalous right coronary artery often be a incidental finding without serious cardiovascular sequale. The only characteristic physical finding is a continuous murmur with diastolic accentuation. There are no diagnostic EKG or chest X-ray changes. Diagnosis is made best by selective left coronary arteriography showing retrograde filling of right coronary artery from collateral vessels. Here, we present a case of twenty-four months old aged girl with anomalous origin of right coronary artery combined with pulmonary stenosis. This is the first pediatric patient with anomalous right coronary artery and the first patient to have surgical correction for this malformation.
