- Abstract
An anomalous circumflex coronary artery arising from the right pulmonary artery is very rare. Clinical presentation varies from absence of symptoms to arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Since prevalence is very low, no definite therapy has been delineated yet. A 19-year-old patient, previously treated for a vascular ring and mitral valve stenosis, was diagnosed with this anomaly through echocardiography revealing collateral coronary flow, with confirmation of this coronary anomaly on subsequent computed tomography examination. To alleviate the burden for arrhythmia in this young patient, he was successfully treated with surgical reimplantation followed by an uneventful recovery.
