Abstract

The article is aimed to analyze the causes of delayed diagnosis of congenital heart disease. A rare case of abnormal originating of the left coronary artery from pulmonary artery in an adolescent is reported. Both, clinical manifestations of circulatory insufficiency and diagnostic challenges, are described. All routine medical records and data were reviewed. Cardiac anatomy and age-related clinical symptoms are described with the subsequent discussion of the surgical treatment. The approach to differential diagnosis is presented. The factors contributing to the delayed diagnosis of the CHD are analyzed.
