[Abnormal origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. Diagnostic contribution of ultrasonographic technique].
We report a case of abnormal origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery trunk. The original features of this case were its discovery in a young pregnant woman, the normality of basal left ventricular function and the electrocardiogram, the diagnosis by transoesophaegeal echocardiography, and the demonstration of severe myocardial ischaemia by stress echocardiography.
