In this study, we describe a very rare case of anomalous left coronary artery arising from the right pulmonary artery in association with coarctation of the aorta. A 3-month-old boy presented with refractory congestive heart failure since 20 days after birth. The initial echocardiography suggested the diagnosis of left coronary artery-to-right pulmonary artery fistula associated with coarctation; however, selective coronary angiography demonstrated the rare anomaly of the left coronary artery arising from the right pulmonary artery. Subsequently, he underwent successful transcatheter balloon angioplasty for aortic coarctation and surgical repair of left coronary artery re-implantation.
