Pulmoner arterden kaynaklanan sol koroner arter anomalisi (ALCAPA) olan 11 yaşında yakınmasız olgu

Pulmoner arterden çıkan anormal sol koroner arter [ Anomalous origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA)] nadir görülen bir doğuştan kalp anomalisidir. Süt çocukları ve çocuklarda ALCAPA miyokardiyal iskemi veya infarktüsün sık karşılaşılan sebeplerinden birisidir. Bu makalede hastanemize üfürüm duyulması nedeniyle başvuran ve ekokardiyografik olarak dilate kardiomyopati ve kateter-anjiyografisinde sol koroner arterin pulmoner arterden köken aldığı görülen 11 yaşındaki bir hastamız sunulmuştur.

Anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) in asymptomatic 11-year-old case

Origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk [Anomalous origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA)] is a rare congenital heart defect. ALCAPA is one of the common causes of myocardial ischemia or infarction in infants and children. In this report, we present an eleven-years-old patient presenting with murmur and accompanied by echocardiographic findings of dilated cardiomyopathy and angiocardiographic investigation that revealed left coronary artery originating from the pulmonary artery.
