Abstract

We experienced a very rare case of isolated single coronary artery, in which the left main coronary artery passes between the aorta and pulmonary artery. It is the most potentially serious among the coronary artery anomalies, because it has the risk of myocardial infarction and sudden death in young ages.

Keywords: CABG; coronary artery anomalies; isolated single coronary; octogenarian.
