Abstract

Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery is a congenital condition associated with sudden cardiac death. There are no current recommendations for the acute management and urgency for this patient population. This manuscript describes and discusses two patients who presented with an acute coronary event and needed emergent intervention despite initial clinical stabilization and improvement.
