title: Single-Trunk Anomalous Origin of Both Coronary Arteries From Pulmonary Artery: Serendipitous Diagnosis and Successful Surgical Treatment.
abstract: The origin of both coronary arteries from the pulmonary artery is generally a lethal condition from progressive heart failure. We report the clinical and surgical course in a child aged 18 months with this anomaly. The left ventricular ejection fraction was profoundly depressed. The common coronary trunk arose from the right anterior facing sinus. Direct coronary implantation to the aorta was used. The patient's left ventricular function improved to a nearly normal state at the 6-month follow-up visit.
