Abstract

Single Coronary Artery (SCA) is a rare anomaly with variable presentation, ranging from mild non-specific symptoms up to sudden cardiac death. A 60-year-old hypertensive female presented with acute coronary syndrome. Selective coronary angiography revealed Lipton’s type RIIIA single coronary artery arising from Right sinus. Patient underwent CABGs and intraoperatively angiographic findings were confirmed. Despite having Type RIII, the LAD and LCX ran benign course, which is unusual.
