Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA) is a rare entity. Brooks described first cases in 1885. Only 25% to 30% % of cases are associated with congenital defects such as aortopulmonary window and tetralogy of Fallot. It is recommended the reimplantation of the right coronary artery in the Aorta, with redistribution of coronary flow avoiding the signs of ischemia or other complications even when the diagnosis is done in asymptomatic patients. This is the report of two infants with who debuted with murmur and signs of heart failure. ARCAPA and Pulmonary Aortic Window were diagnosed and they were surgically corrected through intrapulmonary tunneling with a favorable evolution.

AbstractAortopulmonary window is a rare congenital heart lesion. It might be associated with other CHDs, as well as with anomalous origin of the coronary arteries. Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA) is the most commonly described coronary artery anomaly in association with aortopulmonary window. We are describing a premature neonate who was diagnosed to have aortopulmonary window and ARCAPA immediately after birth, and had a successful operation at the age of 4 months. This report highlights the importance of very careful assessment of the coronary arteries in patients with aortopulmonary window.
