BACKGROUND As a rare anomaly, congenital absence of the right coronary artery (RCA) occurs during the development of coronary artery. Patients with congenital absence of the RCA often show no clinical symptoms, and this disease is considered benign. The left coronary artery gives blood supply to the whole myocardium. The prevalence of congenital absence of the RCA is approximately 0.024%-0.066%. There are few cases reported as for this disease. In this work, a patient, with congenital absence of the RCA diagnosed by coronary angiography (CAG), was described. CASE SUMMARY A 41-year-old man arrived at our hospital for treatment, due to the repeated palpitations for a duration of one year. Considering the possibility of coronary heart disease, the patient underwent CAG that indicated the congenital absence of the RCA. Unfortunately, the patient refused to accept computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA), to further confirm the congenital absence of the RCA. CONCLUSION Single coronary artery is a rare type of coronary artery abnormality, which usually has no obvious clinical manifestations and is considered as a benign disease. CAG is the main means by which congenital absence of the RCA can be diagnosed, and the disease can also be further confirmed by CTCA.
