This report describes two infants with an aortopulmonary window in association with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. In both cases the diagnosis was made pre-operatively by transthoracic echocardiography, with the initial clue being extensive collateral flow within the myocardium. In each case there was surgical confirmation of the echocardiographic findings. These two cases demonstrate that coronary artery evaluation should be an integral part of every new echocardiographic evaluation, particularly in the setting of conotruncal anomalies.
本报告描述了两名患有主肺动脉窗并伴有右冠状动脉起源于肺动脉异常的婴儿。在这两例病例中，术前均通过经胸超声心动图做出诊断，最初的线索是心肌内广泛的侧支血流。每例病例均通过手术证实了超声心动图检查结果。这两例病例表明，冠状动脉评估应成为每次新的超声心动图评估不可或缺的一部分，尤其是在圆锥动脉干畸形的情况下。
