A 24-year-old female presented to her general practitioner with shortness of breath. She was referred for an echocardiogram, which demonstrated features suggestive of a right coronary artery fistula, and referred to our institute. We performed a contrast-enhanced, prospectively triggered cardiac CT angiogram, which demonstrated the primary and secondary features of anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), also known as the Bland-White-Garland syndrome, a rare congenital abnormality of the origin of the left main coronary artery.
