Bland-White-Garland band


Color Doppler ultrasound imaging of the alleged left ventricular artery and pulmonary artery in a patient with Bland-White-Garland syndrome diagnosed at an unusually late age of 45 years Bland-White-Garland syndrome (BWGS), an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA syndrome), is a rare developmental disorder characterized by abnormal left coronary artery bypass pulmonary artery. The Bland-White-Garland syndrome occurs with a frequency of 1: 300,000 live births. There is a serious prognosis: most patients die in early childhood if the defect is not detected and operated on time. The defect may cause myocardial ischaemia, left ventricular dysfunction, mitral valve regurgitation, and progressive cardiac failure; The course depends primarily on the ability to produce collateral circulation.

The band first described Edward Franklin Bland, Paul Dudley White and Joseph Garland. Bibliography
