AI Article Synopsis
- The case highlights an instance of aortopulmonary window in a patient where an anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery was discovered during surgery, despite thorough pre-operative evaluation with echocardiography.
- Pre-operative studies did not reveal any indications of coronary anomalies, raising questions about the effectiveness of current diagnostic methods.
- The discussion emphasizes the need for improving pre-operative diagnostic accuracy and seeks suggestions on how to achieve this.
Article 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?
