Abstract
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital malformation, usually diagnosed in the infant period due to myocardial ischemia and heart failure, with the need for emergency surgery. Less commonly, it can be asymptomatic until adulthood. Coronary artery aneurysms are also rare anatomical anomalies with symptoms of acute or chronic angina or even remain completely asymptomatic. We present an unusual case of ALCAPA, associated with a giant aneurysm of the right coronary artery. Meeting presentation: American Association for Thoracic Surgery 102nd annual meeting, Boston MA, USA, May 16, 2022.
