Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery: direct assessment of anomalous and collateral coronary flow by pulsed Doppler echocardiography.
We directly assessed the anomalous and collateral coronary flow profiles of a 58 year-old-man with Bland-White-Garland syndrome using pulsed Doppler echocardiography. Doppler recordings in this patient document the utility of pulsed Doppler echocardiography in the assessment of a cardiac shunt associated with a congenital coronary anomaly in an adult.
