title: Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery. Use of thallium perfusion scans in the evaluation of successful revascularization.
abstract: Thallium imaging was performed on a 2-month-old infant with a left coronary artery originating from the pulmonary artery. Imaging was performed before and after corrective surgery, which involved creating a new left coronary osteum from the ascending aorta. The radionuclide study documented successful revascularization postoperatively.
