Patient with Angina and Single Coronary Artery Ostium Originating from the Right Sinus of Valsalva

Patient with Angina and Single Coronary Artery Ostium Originating from the Right Sinus of Valsalva Single coronary artery ostium is a rare congenital disease of unknown origin. Clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic disease to sudden death and it may be associated to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. We report the case of a 68-year-old woman with stable angina since 2007, who was submitted to elective coronary angiography due to worsening of angina after three years of follow-up. Selective right coronary artery catheterization indicated the presence of single coronary artery ostium, significant lesion of the left circumflex artery, and mid left anterior descending artery occlusion. CT coronary angiography showed a benign course of the anomalous coronary artery and the patient had a favorable outcome with medical treatment.
