Abstract

We report two cases of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), revealed by malignant ventricular arrhythmias in adult patients. A two coronary system was re-established in both patients, and cryotherapy was performed on one of the patients who, in addition, presented ventricular aneurysm triggering ventricular tachycardia.
