We hypothesize that the prevalence of LCx-ALCAPA, in the setting of scimitar syndrome, may be greater than previously thought. We suggest that any patient with scimitar syndrome, especially with evidence of ischaemia, should be investigated for ALCAPA. Given its noninvasive nature and simultaneous imaging of the lungs, we suggest that cardiovascular CT is the most appropriate first-line investigation for these patients.
