Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the opposite sinus of Valsalva with an intramural aortic course is a rare congenital anomaly with a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 14-year-old soccer player who briefly lost consciousness while sprinting. He had exertional chest pain, syncope, ischemic changes on his electrocardiogram, and elevated cardiac troponin levels. Computed tomographic angiograms showed an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva and a course through the aortic wall toward the left coronary sinus. A surgically created neo-ostium in the left coronary sinus relieved the patient's ischemia, and he resumed playing soccer after cardiac rehabilitation.

Coronary artery anomalies occur in 1.3-5.6% of patients undergoing coronary arteriography. An anomalous origin of LCX from right coronary sinus is the most common congenital variant. It is usually considered “benign” since it is not known to predispose individuals to sudden cardiac death. Such vessels are particularly predisposed to atherosclerotic disease in their proximal portion, due to the acute angulation of its origin from the aorta and its posterior retro aortic course. We present a case of 55 years old female admitted with acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiogram showed the anomalous origin of the left circumflex artery from right coronary sinus. This artery had a significant lesion which was successfully stented with a drug-eluting stent.
