Abstract

We report a case of a 1-year-old patient with aortopulmonary window, anomalous right coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery, and a large perimembranous ventricular septal defect. Computed tomography was successful in diagnosing the coronary anomaly and the case was managed surgically with an intrapulmonary baffle, rerouting the right coronary ostium to the aortic root and a fenestrated patch closure of the ventricular septal defect. Pre-operative diagnosis and thorough planning were essential for the successful outcome of this case.
