Abstract
Anomalous origin of the main coronary arteries from the aorta is rare. We report a case with a single coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva associated with atherosclerosis. The patient was treated with a coronary artery bypass procedure: left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD), right internal mammary artery (RIMA) to the right coronary artery (RCA). The postoperative course was uneventful.
