Abstract Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the pulmonary artery is a very rare congenital heart disease, and several reports have described long-term events after surgery. We report the case of a 46-year-old woman who underwent reimplantation of the RCA for anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery 16 years ago. An RCA aneurysm gradually developed and dilated over time, and we resected the aneurysm and also grafted the right gastroepiploic artery graft to the distal RCA. Careful long-term follow-up is required to avoid overlooking such a rare but life-threatening complication after surgical repair of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.

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.
