Abstract
Coronary artery anomalies (CAA) are rare congenital abnormalities with incidence of
about 1% in the general population.2Unfortunately, despite the low incidence, CAA can
cause sudden cardiac death. Identifying the course of the artery is critical for appropriate
management. We present a rare case of the left coronary artery arising from the right
coronary ostium with special emphasis on normal coronary artery development as
possible insight for treatment of diseased heart.
