title: Arcade mitral valve and anomalous left coronary artery originating from the pulmonary artery.
abstract: The use of color Doppler interrogation significantly improves accuracy in the evaluation of coronary artery anatomy. This was demonstrated in a patient in whom the left coronary artery originated from the posterior and medial aspect of the pulmonary artery, a particularly difficult coronary anomaly to detect by 2-dimensional imaging. In addition to the coronary artery anomaly, this patient also had an arcade mitral valve.
