Özet
Anomalous left coronary artery originating from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation with a mortality rate of up to 90%, if left untreated within the first year of life. Symptoms and signs usually occur in early infancy when pulmonary vascular resistance drops and the left coronary artery flow is reduced. In this article, clinical signs and diagnostic and treatment methods for four cases who were diagnosed in our clinic were presented.
