“…Whenever ASCAPA is suspected, the location for performing either the pulmonary arteriotomy or the aortotomy incisions should be chosen bearing in mind the possible need for performing either a coronary artery translocation or Takeuchi or Tashiro’s procedure, depending upon the location of the anomalous solitary coronary artery origin. 5,6 The early diagnosis and surgical treatment of this condition is crucial to prevent the occurrence of ventricular fibroelastosis and irreversible myocardial failure. 7 The congenital heart surgeon should always be prepared to embrace the unexpected by being willing to consider and identify alternate or additional diagnoses.…”

Anomalous origin of a single coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a rare and potentially fatal congenital heart malformation. Although the actual incidence is not known, it is rarer than anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery. In the absence of other important congenital cardiac anomalies, patients with anomalous origin of a single coronary artery from the pulmonary artery typically experience myocardial ischemia in association with the physiological decrease in the pulmonary vascular resistance that typically occurs over the first few months of life. To our knowledge, there have been only three reported cases of successful surgical correction. We describe a very unusual case in which the diagnosis was made intraoperatively during surgery to close a ventricular septal defect.
