Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.
Isolated anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) is a very rare congenital malformation. The case of a 15-month-old boy with anomalous origin of the RCA from the pulmonary artery is presented. The RCA was reimplanted into the aorta. The anatomical correction was uneventful and its success demonstrates that diagnosis and surgical correction are possible at a very young age.
