Abstract

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery in adults is difficult to identify reliably by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). We describe a 32-year-old woman with this coronary anomaly mimicking a coronary artery fistula on conventional TTE study. This anomaly was suggested by multiplane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and subsequently confirmed by coronary angiography. Multiplane TEE thus may serve as a first- line diagnostic tool for detecting anomalous, origin of coronary arteries.
