Abstract

The anomalous origin and course of coronary vessels are rare and in some cases may lead to the symptoms of heart ischaemia. The paper presents the case of a 63-year-old patient with angina pectoris evaluated in ECG-gated multi-slice CT and coronarography in whom the concomitant ectopic origin of the recessive right coronary artery from the left sinus of Valsalva and intramyocardial bridging in the left anterior descendens artery were observed.
