title: Three anomalies of the coronary arteries co-existing in a case of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum.
abstract: A female infant, who died 17 hours after spontaneous birth, was found to have three distinct coronary arterial anomalies in association with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum. These anomalies were first, an aneurysmal left coronary artery with a fistulous communication into the right ventricle; second, an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery; and third, a supernumerary coronary artery arising from the right ventricle. Although the coronary arterial system was entirely connected to the right ventricle, the perfusing blood originated from the left ventricle and there was no clinical or histological evidence of significant myocardial ischaemia.
