Background: Intraseptal anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery is considered a benign condition. However, there have been case reports of patients with myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, and sudden cardiac death. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical presentation, myocardial perfusion on provocative stress testing, and management of children with anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery with an intraseptal course in a prospective cohort. Methods: Patients with anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery and intraseptal course were prospectively enrolled from December 2012 to May 2019, evaluated, and managed following a standardized algorithm. Myocardial perfusion was assessed using stress imaging. Fractional flow reserve was performed in patients with myocardial hypoperfusion on noninvasive testing. Exercise restriction, beta-blockers, and surgical intervention were discussed with the families. Results: Eighteen patients (female 6, 33.3%), who presented with no symptoms (10, 55.6%), nonexertional (4, 22.2%), and exertional symptoms (4, 22.2%), were enrolled at a median age of 12.4 years (0.3-15.9). Perfusion imaging was performed in 14/18 (77.8%) and was abnormal in 7/14 (50%); fractional flow reserve was positive in 5/8 (62.5%). All 4 patients with exertional symptoms and 3/10 (30%) with no or nonexertional symptoms had myocardial hypoperfusion. Coronary artery bypass grafting was performed in a 4-year-old patient; beta-blocker and exercise restriction were recommended in 4 patients not suitable for surgery. One patient had nonexertional chest pain and 17 were symptom-free at median follow-up of 2.5 years (0.2-7.1). Conclusions: Up to 50% of patients with intraseptal anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery had inducible myocardial hypoperfusion during noninvasive provocative testing. Long-term follow-up is necessary to understand the natural history of this rare anomaly.
