Abstract

A 47-year-old female patient underwent surgical correction of a recently diagnosed anomalous left coronary artery. The artery originated from the pulmonary artery, and the patient had suffered from pulmonary hypertension and congestive heart failure. The follow-up after 3 and 6 months showed only slight improvement in the patient's condition.
