[Reconstruction Using a Saphenous Vein for Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery in an Adult;Report of a Case].

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is an uncommon congenital heart disease. Such anomaly causes myocardial ischemia, heart failure, and sudden death. Most of such cases require surgical intervention. We report a successful surgical correction for ALCAPA in an adult. A 31-year-old woman with progressive exertional dyspnea was referred to our institution because of abnormal electrocardiogram showing ST depression( V3-V6). Computed tomography revealed the left main trunk (LMT) arising at the right lateral wall of the main pulmonary trunk. Interposition of a saphenous vein graft was performed between the ascending aorta and the LMT. The postoperative course was uneventful.
