We describe live three‐dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic (3DTTE) findings in a 52‐year‐old female who had previously undergone an aortopulmonary tunnel operation for anomalous origin of the left coronary artery (ACA) from the pulmonary artery. Three‐dimensional transthoracic echocardiography clearly delineated the origin of the ACA from the posterolateral aspect of the main pulmonary artery just above the pulmonary valve, the surgically created tunnel, as well as a small defect in the tunnel near the aortic end communicating with the pulmonary artery.
