Abstract
Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is one of the rare congenital coronary diseases. The percentage of population damage is 0.002 %. In most cases this occurrence is asymptomatic and diagnosed accidentally like our case. Here, we report a 9-month-old female infant who was admitted with a diagnosis multiple muscle ventricular septal defects. For diagnostic we used echocardiogram, as a result an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery was suspected. After that, coronary computed tomography angiography confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent surgical correction by redeployment of the coronary artery in aorta. The aim of our report is to describe the successful correction of a potentially fatal disease. Early diagnostic can provide effective treatment.
