Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva is extremely rare and can lead to sudden cardiac death. We report a case in which an 18-year-old college student collapsed immediately after a long-distance run of 10 km. After cardiopulmonary resuscitation and electrical shock for ventricular fibrillation, she experienced a return of spontaneous circulation. Cardiac catheterization and cardiac computed tomographic angiography revealed an unusually long intramural course of the left main coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva. The young woman underwent a successful unroofing operation for coronary artery correction. She remained asymptomatic upon exercise during 2.5 years of follow-up.
