A coronary computed tomography (CT) (Figures 1 and 2) showed a congenital anomaly of the right coronary artery (RCA) originating from the contralateral sinus of Valsalva, 18 millimetres above the left coronary leaflet.
Coronary computed tomography showing the hypoplasic birth of right coronary artery (red arrow) originating close to the left sinus of Valsalva with further high-risk path between the aorta and the pulmonary artery.

A coronary computed tomography (CT) (Figures 1 and 2) showed a congenital anomaly of the right coronary artery (RCA) originating from the contralateral sinus of Valsalva, 18 millimetres above the left coronary leaflet.
Coronary angiography revealing no atherosclerosis and the anomalous right coronary artery (left arrow) close to the origin of the left coronary artery (right arrow); with inter-aortico-pulmonary high-risk path.

The right and left coronary arteries were located close to each other, but separate from the ostia; this was corroborated on the coronary angiogram (CA) which furthermore did not show any intraluminal coronary atherosclerosis (Figure 3).
