Early detection of anomalous origin of left coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery after successful repair of critical coarctation of the aorta.

abstract：:Unroofed coronary sinus is a rare cardiac anomaly in which communication occurs between the coronary sinus and the left atrium due to the partial or complete absence of the roof of the coronary sinus. It is usually associated with other cardiovascular anomalies, especially persistent left superior vena cava. It is oft...
