Abstract

A patient is described with an anomalous right coronary artery arising high above the left sinus of Valsalva. This patient is unique because the other 2 cases with such an anomalous origin of a right coronary artery had bicuspid aortic with such an anomalous origin of a right coronary artery had bicuspid aortic valves; this patient had a normal tricuspid aortic valve.
