Abstract
A rare case of an anomalous left coronary artery arising from the right sin us of Valsalva associated with bicuspid aortic valve is presented. This cas e is unique because these congenital anomalies were associated with rheumat ic mitral stenosis. This anomalous coronary origin was found at catheteriza tion before balloon mitral valvuloplasty. The clinical significance of this finding is discussed.
