An 8-year-old boy with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery associated with tetralogy of Fallot, which was definitely diagnosed preoperatively, was operated on with success. Direct implantation of the left coronary artery into the aorta following division of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery and, concomitantly, total repair for tetralogy of Fallot using an external valved conduit were performed. Postoperative cineangiogram revealed a hemodynamically well-repaired intracardiac condition and anterograde filling of the left coronary artery, compared with retrograde left coronary flow from intercoronary collateral vessels preoperatively.

To the best of our knowledge, there is not a previously published report of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery associated with tetralogy of Fallot that was treated surgically with success.
