Abstract

Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA) is a very rare congenital heart defect. Herein, we describe three cases of ARCAPA in an 8 months old, 18 months old, and 4 year old child. Two cases were incidentally diagnosed using a computed tomographic angiograph, and the other was incidentally diagnosed using a coronary angiograph. These cases underwent a reimplantation technique on diagnosis and resulting in positive clinical outcomes during the follow-up period which was a mean of 1.5 years.
