[Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery: diagnosis by two-dimensional Doppler color].
A case of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCA) is presented. The noninvasive diagnosis was made by 2D-color flow Doppler. Application of this technique may alleviate the necessity for angiography in patients with ALCA.
