From all congenital cardiopathies, anomalous origin of anterior interventricular artery occurs once per 300,0000 live births, reporting high mortality in the first year after birth. However, if good collateral circulation is available for the artery related to the abnormality, the patient may be kept asymptomatic until mature age. This is the report on a rare case of a 43-year-old patient who was oligosymptomatic, with normal ventricular function in this pathology presentation. The patient was submitted to surgical treatment with no extracorporeal circulation.
