Aortopulmonary window (APW) with an anomalous origin of a coronary artery is extremely rare. We report surgical management of a four‐week‐old infant with the association of a distal type of APW and an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the pulmonary artery. Complete anatomical correction comprising division of the great arteries and transferring the RCA as an autologous flap to the aortic defect was successfully performed. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12205 (J Card Surg 2013;28:767–769)
