Abstract

Single coronary artery is an extremely rare congenital anomaly with a very low incidence in the general population. We present a 65-year-old woman with atypical chest pain and a single left coronary artery discovered in the cath lab. No coronary lesions were found. Such anomaly has been previously described before only in twelve patients.
