Abstract

The anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) is relatively more frequent with an approximate to 0.25% incidence¹⁾. Localization and adequate visualization of the anomaly are essential for patients undergoing evaluation for complex coronary or valvular interventional and surgical treatments. We report a case of anomalous origin of RCA from intercuspal area of the aortic sinus. Such a variant of anomalous coronary origin is not described before as per our literature search.
