A 51-year-old male suffered from a STEMI inferior and a total AV block. Echocardiography shows hypokinetic wall motion at the inferior and inferoseptal that result in decreased EF. Coronary angiography revealed a single ostium of coronary artery without any stenosis. Cardiac CT revealed a single coronary artery arises from a single ostium from RCC and divided into RCA and LCA. There was an inter-arterial course of proximal RCA and proximal LCA between aorta and pulmonal artery. There was an acute angle take off of RCA from aorta.  Inter-arterial course and acute angle take off of coronary artery from aorta result in kinking and narrowing of coronary artery that contributes to myocardial infarction. There is a mismatch between myocardial demand which is increased during exertion and myocardial oxygen delivery that decreased during exertion. A surgical anterior pulmonal transposition is the suggested choice of therapy.

AbstractA single coronary artery is an exceedingly rare anomaly. Hereby, we present an unusual case of a young patient with an acute coronary syndrome who was found to have a single coronary artery originating from a single ostium in the right sinus of Valsalva with dual left anterior descending (LAD) arteries arising from the right coronary artery with two different anatomical courses, and additionally one of those LADs running a malignant intra-arterial course.
