Abstract

Anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery is an extremely rare coronary anomaly out of the group of anomalous coronary arteries arising from the pulmonary artery. We present the case of a 27-year-old male, in whom the diagnosis of an anomalous left circumflex coronary artery from the pulmonary artery was made after sudden cardiac arrest. The diagnosis was confirmed by multimodal imaging and the patient underwent successful surgical correction. Abnormal origins of a coronary artery may become symptomatic later in life and may occur as an isolated cardiac malformation. Due to a potentially unfavorable clinical course, surgical correction should be considered as soon as a diagnosis is made.
