Objectives: Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) syndrome is a rare congenital coronary artery malformation with a high rate of clinical missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. At present, there is a lack of reports on the clinical manifestations of ALCAPA and the imaging features of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). This study aims to summarize the clinical characteristics and coronary CTA imaging features of ALCAPA to improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA or Bland-White-Garland syndrome) is a rare but serious congenital coronary artery anomaly, with a poor prognosis without surgical repair. There are two types of ALCAPA syndrome: infant type and adult type. We present a rare case of a 63-year-old female patient, with isolated left anterior descending artery origin from the pulmonary artery.
