Aortopulmonary window and coronary anatomy – still a pre-operative diagnostic trouble!
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2022
Abstract
We present a case of aortopulmonary window in which the diagnosis of anomalous left coronary artery originating from pulmonary artery was made intra-operatively even if the coronary arteries anatomy was correctly studied pre-operatively with echocardiography. No evidence of coronary anomalies or indirect sings of coronary anomalies has been noted. Should we improve our pre-operative diagnostic accuracy and how?
