The usual presentation of anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery is severe left-sided heart failure and mitral valve insufficiency presenting during the first months of life. The manifestations of left heart failure may be masked if pulmonary artery pressure remains high. We believe this is a rarest of rare case of anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery with severe mitral stenosis and pulmonary hypertension in which pulmonary hypertension, along with good collateral circulation helped to preserve left ventricular function.
通常情况下,动脉发自肺动脉的异常左冠状动脉会导致严重的左侧心力衰竭和二尖瓣关闭不全,这些症状通常在生命的最初几个月出现。如果肺动脉压持续升高,可能会掩盖左心衰竭的表现。我们认为这是一种极其罕见的动脉发自肺动脉的异常左冠状动脉合并严重二尖瓣狭窄和肺动脉高压的病例,其中肺动脉高压和良好的侧支循环有助于维持左心室功能。
