Study design: Case Report
Abstract: An anomalous right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly that does not have the typical presentation of the more common anomalous left coronary artery. We present an infant with tetralogy of Fallot with atypical findings on the preoperative echocardiogram. A cardiac computerized tomographic (CT) scan showed ARCAPA. This was confirmed intraoperatively and repaired successfully. Close attention to coronaries on echocardiography and a low threshold for additional imaging can successfully diagnose ARCAPA in the presence of additional congenital heart defects.
