Stenosis at the origin of an anomalous left main coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery in a symptom-free adolescent girl: transesophageal echocardiographic findings.
We report an unusual finding of ostial stenosis of an anomalous left main coronary artery originating from the pulmonary artery in a symptom-free adolescent girl. Transesophageal echocardiography with Doppler color imaging correctly identified all of the salient features of this anomaly including proximal stenoses of the right and left coronary arteries. These findings were subsequently confirmed at cardiac catheterization.
