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.

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.

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 the diagnosis of anomalous coronary artery in two brothers. Following the diagnosis of anomalous coronary artery in one sibling, we screened immediate family relatives and found the same anomaly in the older brother. Familiarity in this pathology is extremely rare. We analysed and compared clinical, echocardiographic and radiological findings in the two brothers.
