Abstract
A 48-year-old woman, who had undergone surgery to treat a patent ductus arteriosus when she was 12 years old, was diagnosed with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) and moderate mitral regurgitation during a routine exam. She underwent ALCAPA repair with an intrapulmonary tunnel using a vascular prosthesis and mitral valve repair. She experienced significant symptom improvement and has been free of heart failure symptoms after surgery. Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is rare but life-threatening, necessitating surgical intervention even in asymptomatic adults. Choosing an appropriate surgical approach is important, considering the patient's age and future intervention potential.
期刊介绍：
The Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals is an international peer-reviewed journal pertaining to cardiovascular and thoracic medicine. Besides original clinical manuscripts, we welcome research reports, product reviews, reports of new techniques, and findings of special significance to Asia and the Pacific Rim. Case studies that have significant novel original observations, are instructive, include adequate methodological details and provide conclusions. Workshop proceedings, meetings and book reviews, letters to the editor, and meeting announcements are encouraged along with relevant articles from authors.
