Abstract
Coronary artery anomalies occur infrequently compared to atherosclerot ic disease; however, when they do occur, they can pose difficulty with coronary visualization and identification. Ectopic origin of the left mainstem coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva coursing be tween the great vessels is the rarest subtype of these anomalies, can be potentially serious, and presents unique problems for surgical trea tment.
