An ectopic coronary artery is observed in 0.05–0.1% of angiographic series, may be of tangential origin or proximal endocardial pathway, may result in a slit hole that interferes with flow, and is associated with sudden death.
Ectopic origin of the right coronary artery from the left sinus of
Valsalva is an extremely rare anomaly of coronary arterial morphology,
often incidentally discovered and clinically silent. We, hereunder,
experienced a case of ectopic origin of the right coronary artery from
the left sinus of Valsalva.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
