Few cases of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery remain asymptomatic until adolescence, and it is very rare to find a patient with this disease reaching the age of 70 without having undergone any surgery. Up to now, there have been only three other cases of patients, more than 70 years of age, with this congenital heart effect described in medical literature. We report the clinical history and the cardiac morphofunctional findings of 12 years of follow-up after a very late diagnosis of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.
少数左冠状动脉起源于肺动脉的病例在青春期前一直无症状,极少有患此病的患者在70岁时仍未接受任何手术。到目前为止,医学文献中仅报道过另外三例70岁以上患有这种先天性心脏疾病的患者。我们报告了一名左冠状动脉起源于肺动脉的患者在很晚才被诊断出来后,经过12年随访的临床病史和心脏形态功能检查结果。
