Sumario:Sudden cardiac arrest from anomalous coronary artery from the opposite sinus of Valsalva is rarely observed in children under 10 years of age. We report a 7-week-old infant with a brief resolved unexplained event from left anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery who underwent unroofing and again developed syncope at 8 years of age. Ischemia was detected by stress echocardiography both times. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
