ABSTRACT

Anomalous aortic origin of the left coronary artery from the right Sinus of Valsalva is extremely rare and is a cause of sudden cardiac death of non-atherosclerotic ischemic etiology in patients younger than 35 years of age. We present a case of a patient with an anomalous aortic origin of the left coronary artery with an intramural trajectory treated with the unroofing technique.
