Description
Anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the opposite aortic sinus is an infrequently encountered clinical problem. Incidence of this abnormality was approximately 1.69% in the angiographic study by Angelini et al. [1]. This abnormal vessel can have a retroaortic course before it reaches the atrioventricular or interventrivular groove.
