Symptomatic Presentation of an Anamalous Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery in an 8-Day-Old

Pediatr Emerg Care. 2016 May;32(5):326-8. doi: 10.1097/PEC.0000000000000415.

Abstract

An 8-day-old presented in extremis and was subsequently diagnosed with an anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. Symptomatic presentation at her young age and atypical echocardiogram findings make this case unique and suggest that demonstration of retrograde coronary flow is unnecessary in symptomatic presentation.
