Pre-operative identification of an anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery in association with tetralogy of Fallot and an aortopulmonary window

Abstract
A newborn baby girl was diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot and an aortopulmonary window. At 3 weeks of age, the coexistent diagnosis of an anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery was made. Initial surgical intervention included a Takeuchi baffle of the left coronary artery, closure of the aortopulmonary window, and placement of a right Blalock–Taussig shunt. Complete repair was undertaken at 12 months of age. Close pre-operative assessment of the coronary arterial anomaly is crucial in patients with an aortopulmonary window and tetralogy of Fallot.
