title: [An adult case of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery].
abstract: An adult case of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) was presented. A 37-year-old male was admitted for ventricular arrhythmia and chest pain. The catheterization, left ventriculography and coronary arteriography revealed ALCAPA with anterolateral ventricular aneurysm and mild mitral regurgitation. An operation using Takeuchi procedure was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and the results of the catheterization, left ventriculography and coronary arteriography performed immediately and five years after the operation were excellent except mild supravalvular pulmonary stenosis. Six years later, the patient is asymptomatic and well.
