Abstract
An anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the main pulmonary artery (ARCAPA) is a rare cardiac malformation, and only three cases of isolated ARCAPA in patients younger than 2 years of age have been reported. This report describes the surgical treatment of a 12-month-old girl with myocardial ischemia due to ARCAPA. The diagnosis was made by echocardiography. A reimplantation of the aberrant coronary artery was performed, and the patient had a successful postoperative course.
