Case report
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary
artery: natural history and normal pregnancies
South West Cardiothoracic Centre, Plymouth Hospitals

Accepted for publication 25 March 1998
Two female patients are described with anomalous origin of the
left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery who sustained an
anterolateral myocardial infarction in infancy. Neither patient
received surgical treatment although both have lived to middle age with
minimal cardiovascular problems and have had uncomplicated pregnancies.
Good exercise tolerance and long term survival may be possible even
without surgery for patients with this anomaly.
