We report a case of absence of the left main coronary artery with the left anterior descending and circumflex coronary arteries arising by t wo separate ostia from the right sinus of Valsalva in a patient withou t other congenital cardiovascular malformations. The clinical and angi ographic features of this exceedingly rare anomaly are described with a brief review of previously documented cases.
