[Left coronary artery with anomalous origin and course].

Abstract

We report a 45 year-old patient with angina and positive exercise test. In the coronary arteriography that left coronary artery rose from a vascular structure that connected the aorta to the middle of the left anterior descending coronary artery. In the right coronary artery there was a 90% stenosis. An ACTP was made in this stenosis. The patient displayed no symptoms eight months after the procedure. We have not found in the literature and anomaly of the left coronary artery similar to what was found in this patient.
