Abstract: | Anomalous Left Coronary Artery from Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA) is the commonest congenital anomaly involving coronary arteries. The combination of this anomaly with mitral regurgitation is very rare in adult population. We report the case of a 62?year old lady, who presented with breathlessness and was found to have this combined anomaly. She was treated successfully with closure of left coronary ostium from pulmonary artery and mitral valve replacement with Hancock 2 Porcine valve. To our knowledge, this is the oldest patient to have undergone successful ALCAPA repair with mitral valve replacement with bioprosthetic valve. |
