Abstract
Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital anomaly that has generally been found incidentally during autopsy or surgery. Sudden death may occur without antecedent symptoms in apparently healthy, asymptomatic patients and hence operation is recommended when the lesion is recognized. As opposed to the more frequent anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, only a few children with this anomaly have been reported to have undergone surgical treatment. This report describes a 2-year old patient whose diagnosis was made by echocardiography, confirmed by angiocardiography, and successfully corrected by reimplantation of the anomalous coronary artery into the aorta.
