Abstract

Retrocardiac course of an ectopic right coronary artery is newly described. The alternative (usual) course of an anomalous right coronary from the left sinus of Valsalva is pre-aortic and intramural, with stenosis. In the present exceptional case, there was no stenosis.

Keywords: coronary congenital stenosis; retrocardiac versus intramural course; right coronary artery anomalies.
