title: Double anomalous coronary origin from the pulmonary artery: successful surgical correction in an infant.
abstract: We report an extremely rare entity in which all coronary arteries originate from the pulmonary artery. Only a few cases have been reported and corrected, and fewer still have had a favorable outcome. The survival range reported for these patients is from 9 hours to 1 year. This case was diagnosed and surgically corrected in a patient at the age of 2 months, and the patient is doing well 27 months after the procedure.
