Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital heart disease. It presents as myocardial infarction in children; however, the presentation may vary between asymptomatic to progressive heart failure and also death. As a result, diagnosis in living adults is extremely rare.

ALCAPA is a rare congenital anomaly that presents with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and mitral valve regurgitation. The mortality rate is roughly 90% if the intracoronary collateral isn't significantly augmented. Malignant arrhythmias resulting in sudden death are common, affecting nearly 90% of patients with a mean age of 35 years.

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.

- * Following intensive care and surgery, the patient recovered and was discharged without any neurological impairment.
