Abstract

Anomalous aortic origin of one of the coronary arteries is uncommon. There have been few reports of the left coronary artery arising from the noncoronary sinus. The occurrence of Prinzmetal’s angina in association with anomalous aortic origin is extremely rare. We report a case of such a combination and discuss the diagnostic options and therapeutic decision making.
