Abstract

A 33-year-old marathon runner presented with anomalous right coronary artery originating from the pulmonary artery after being admitted for cardiac arrest. Surgical re-implantation of the right coronary artery to the aortic root to re-establish right coronary ostial circulation was successful. The patient resumed exercise and required no further medical therapy.
