“…[35][36][37] By the time they are 20 years old, many individuals with aberrant LM coming from the opposite right coronary artery and the previously indicated high risk criteria have already passed away, usually during, or shortly after, strenuous exercise, which is characteristic of young, 'healthy' athletes. 38,39 However, the authors' patient presented with significant atherosclerotic changes in the LAD originating from the anomalous LM. The retroaortic route of the aberrant coronary artery suggested that the atherosclerotic changes in the coronary arteries were the true culprit in this patient's case of chest pains, rather than the abnormal artery itself.…”

The left main coronary artery originating from the right sinus of Valsalva is a rare congenital anomaly. A 62-year-old male came in with recurring exertional chest discomfort, as observed by the authors. He was referred to the catheterisation laboratory for coronary angiography, which revealed the presence of a left main coronary artery coming from the right coronary sinus. In the proximal portion of the left anterior ascending coronary artery, a critical stenotic lesion was identified. The cardiac CT angiography demonstrated a benign retroaortic course. The lesion was effectively treated utilising three drug-eluting stents.
