Abstract
A 42-year-old man with resistant ventricular tachycardia was found to have an anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the rig ht aortic sinus that pursued an intramyocardial course through the ven tricular septum. The tachycardia resolved after coronary artery bypass graft to otherwise normal left anterior descending and circumflex cor onary arteries. Septal course of an anomalous left main coronary arter y from right aortic sinus should not always be considered benign. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
