Abstract
Anomalous coronary arteries are rare but can lead to serious complications during cardiac operations if not recognized. We report a 55-year-old woman with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left ventricle, and bicuspid aortic valve stenosis. Coronary angiography and computerized tomographic angiography indicated the diagnosis preoperatively. She underwent aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting subsequently, with good recovery. One adult and two children with the same right coronary artery anomaly have been reported in the literature. Preoperative diagnosis is essential in these cases, and long-term follow-up is warranted.
