Abstract
A 45-year-old female presented with typical recent-onset exertional an gina pectoris. Subsequent investigation showed that the likely cause w as an aberrant origin of the right coronary artery arising from the le ft coronary sinus, This anomaly is uncommon and is not usually associa ted with angina pectoris. Surgical rerouting of the origin of the righ t coronary artery produced complete resolution of ischaemia.
