Aortopulmonary window and coronary anatomy - still a pre-operative diagnostic trouble!

Cardiol Young. 2022 Dec;32(12):2027-2028. doi: 10.1017/S1047951122000981. Epub 2022 May 11.

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?

Keywords: Coronary artery anomalies; aortopulmonary window; coronary circulation; gestational diabetes; newborn abnormalities.
