Adult-type ALCAPA: missed at preoperative evaluation.

Unlabelled: The Bland-White-Garland syndrome, or Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA) syndrome, is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly often associated with high mortality, if left untreated. We present a case of a 43-year-old female with undiagnosed ALCAPA who initially underwent mitral valve surgery for severe mitral regurgitation, only to require reoperation due to adult-type ALCAPA. Intraoperatively, the discovery of dilated right coronary artery and its branches and absence of the left coronary ostium prompted further investigation, leading to the diagnosis of adult-type ALCAPA.

Anomalous origin of coronary arteries from the pulmonary artery (ACAPA) are rare but clinically significant condition with high mortality if left untreated. Even more rarely, ACAPA is associated with other congenital heart defects. From 1974 to 2024, 120 patients with anomalous coronary arteries connected to the pulmonary artery were retrospectively analyzed.

The present study is the first meta-analysis comparing long-term outcomes in patients undergoing correction for anomalous left coronary artery (ALCAPA) regarding concomitant mitral valve surgery. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify all relevant studies with comparative data on mitral valve surgery performed during surgery for ALCAPA correction. Predefined primary end points included mortality and mitral valve (re)operation.

Article Synopsis
- A six-year-old child with a history of cardiac surgery presented with severe mitral valve regurgitation, and during surgery, her coronary artery was injured while addressing epicardial adhesion, leading to low cardiac output.
- Despite successfully repairing the coronary vessels, the persistence of low cardiac output required further evaluation, ultimately revealing ALCAPA syndrome, which complicated the clinical picture.
- The case highlighted the importance of timely diagnosis and the need for combined coronary and mitral repair surgery to improve outcomes in patients with ALCAPA and associated complications.

Article Synopsis
- * Medical imaging identified ALCAPA syndrome, where the left coronary artery is wrongly connected to the pulmonary artery, leading to the cardiac issues.
- * Following intensive care and surgery, the patient recovered and was discharged without any neurological impairment.
