Abstract

Congenital anomalies of coronary arteries, although rare, can result in myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac death. The incidence of coronary artery anomalies is reported to be 1-2% in the general population. We report two cases in which coronary angiography revealed anomalous origin of the right coronary and left main coronary arteries, respectively. Both cases were successfully treated by percutaneous coronary intervention.
