Artéria coronária única com origem no seio de Valsalva direito

Abstract

Anomalous origin of coronary arteries is a rare congenital disorder, with an estimated incidence of 0.3 to 1.3% of patients referred for coronary angiography. Currently, its discussion still divides opinions, particularly regarding the therapeutic approach. We report the case of a 75 year‐old woman who underwent cardiac catheterization, which showed the left main coronary artery with an anomalous origin next to the right coronary artery in the right coronary sinus and with a retroaortic course.
