Malignant ventricular arrhythmias revealing anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery in two adults.
We report two cases of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), revealed by malignant ventricular arrhythmias in adult patients. A two coronary system was re-established in both patients, and cryotherapy was performed on one of the patients who, in addition, presented ventricular aneurysm triggering ventricular tachycardia.
