Abstract
Anomalous origin of Left Coronary Artery from Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital malformation, which can result in myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure and sudden death if left untreated. Reports of myocardial revascularization and Mitral Valve (MV) repair following ALCAPA repair in infants are uncommon. We report a critically ill infant with ALCAPA needing myocardial revascularization and MV repair after which there was early recovery of Left Ventricular (LV) function. At two years follow up, the child is clinically well; the postoperative cardiac catheterization shows good flow in the Left Internal Mammary Artery (LIMA) and Left Anterior Descending artery (LAD), good LV function and competent mitral valve.
