Abstract
The anomalous origin of coronary arteries has been extensively documented in the literature. Most of the anomalies are incidentally found either during coronary angiography or imaging studies and are usually benign; however, malignant outcomes have been reported in the literature. Here, we present the case of a 76-year-old male with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction who was found to have an asymptomatic anomalous origin left anterior descending artery from the right sinus of Valsalva.
