AbstractWe report a rare case of anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery from the posterior/non-coronary sinus of Valsalva in a 9-year-old male diagnosed during the workup of premature ventricular contractions. The finding was initially noted on transthoracic echocardiogram and further confirmed with computed tomography. The anomalous coronary artery shows a wide ostium with no intramural or interarterial course.

Abstract We report on a patient with bicuspid aortic valve and anomalous right coronary artery from the opposite sinus without evidence of intramural course. Different authors support the universal presence of intramural course in patients with origin of the right coronary artery from the opposite sinus of Valsalva in normal heart. The occurrence of both bicuspid aortic valve and the absence of intramural course may not be accidental. This might suggest a developmental interaction between bicuspid aortic valve and anomalous coronary artery. Large observational study including characterisation by intravascular ultrasonography in patients with bicuspid aortic valve and anomalous coronary is needed.

AbstractAnomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the posterior, non-coronary sinus is extremely rare and has never been reported in a paediatric-age competitive athlete. We report this very rare case of the right coronary artery arising from the posterior sinus. In the anomalous right coronary from the posterior sinus, the proximal right coronary artery appears widely patent and has no interarterial course.

In the typical course of the coronary arteries, the right coronary artery comes from the right coronary sinus and descends in the right atrioventricular groove. The left coronary artery trunk begins from the left coronary sinus. It crosses the pulmonary trunk and divides into left anterior descending and left circumflex arteries. Anatomical differences of the coronary arteries can be observed in 0.3–5.6% of the population. The interarterial course of coronary branches between the aorta and the pulmonary trunk is a malignant anomaly of the coronary arteries. Such abnormalities have been associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. We present a rare case of coronary arteries anomaly involving the presence of a single right coronary artery and the interarterial course of its atypical branches documented by computed tomography angiography (CTA). In summary, the accurate assessment of the anatomical topography of coronary anomalies, possible in CTA, is necessary in the analysis of the risk of sudden cardiac death and its prevention.

We report a rare case of a single coronary artery originating from the left sinus of Valsalva with extensive atherosclerosis in a patient presenting with unstable angina. The distal circumflex artery continued the course of the right coronary artery.

Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a rare condition. Two cases are presented in this paper. One case was treated by ligation and coronary artery bypass. The other was treated by direct reimplantation of the anomalous coronary artery into the aorta.
