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.

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.

Anomalies of the coronary arteries -- especially their abnormal origin from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA) trunk -- are among the least common. They’re also the most dangerous of congenital heart defects with an incidence of 0.002% in the general population [Williams 2006]. The diagnosis exceedingly is difficult because anatomical abnormalities of the coronary arteries are subtle. We present a case of an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery.

AbstractWe report on a case of a newborn with echocardiographic diagnosis of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the main pulmonary artery. Intraoperative inspection demonstrated a proximal anomalous course of the right coronary artery but a normal origin from the right sinus of Vansalva of the Aorta. We suggest a complete investigation, including coronary angiography, when isolated and rare congenitaj malformations of the coronary arteries are suspected.

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.
