title: Origin of the left coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery.
abstract: We report the successful surgical treatment of a 12-year-old boy with a rare type of Bland-White-Garland syndrome with mitral regurgitation, in which an anomalous left coronary artery arose from the middle portion of the right pulmonary artery, employing the direct translocation of the left coronary artery and mitral valvuloplasty.
