Abstract

Anomalous left main coronary artery (LMCA) with an intraconal course is a relatively rare form of anomalous coronary artery. Intraconal LMCA typically originates from the right sinus of Valsalva. However, this report describes the very unusual circumstance of an intraconal LMCA originating from the left sinus.
