Anomalous Left Main Coronary Artery From the Right Sinus of Valsalva.

Anomalous coronary arteries are rare, mostly benign anatomic abnormalities. Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva (LCA-RSV) is a rare variant that may lead to myocardial ischemia or sudden cardiac death. We present the case of a 49-year-old patient with a history of type 2 diabetes and smoking who presented to the emergency department with acute chest pain and was diagnosed with inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated inferolateral wall motion abnormalities of the left ventricle. The patient underwent cardiac catheterization that showed an anomalous left main coronary artery originating from the right sinus of Valsalva, alongside atherosclerotic triple-vessel disease. He was discharged home on medical management, including dual antiplatelet therapy, beta blockers, and statins, with scheduled follow-up.
