title: Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery in tetralogy of Fallot associated with abnormal mitral valve pathology.
abstract: The association of anomalous left coronary artery with congenital heart disease is a rare occurrence. Seven cases of anomalous left coronary artery associated with tetralogy of Fallot have been reported in the literature. We report a unique case with severe mitral valve abnormality that precluded standard surgical repair.
