| Summary: | Mehmet Akif Cakar1, Ersan Tatli2, Bilhan Ozalp2, Huseyin Gunduz11Sakarya Education and Research Hospital, Cardiology Department, Sakarya, Turkey; 2Ada Tip Private Hospital, Cardiology Department, Korucuk, Sakarya, TurkeyAbstract: Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva is extremely rare when not associated with other congenital cardiac anomalies. In this report we present a patient with a single coronary ostium, with both the left and right coronary artery systems arising from it. The right coronary artery was found to contain a significant flow-limiting lesion that was successfully treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.Keywords: single coronary artery, percutaneous coronary intervention |
