Abstract
Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery was diagnosed by selective left coronary artery angiography in an asymptomatic five-year-old boy with a continuous murmur. The anomalous coronary artery, along with a cuff of the pulmonary artery, was re-implanted into the aorta. The patient is asymptomatic five years postoperatively.
