Author(s): Abhisekh Mohanty

Coronary artery anomalies are rare congenital disorders. They are usually diagnosed incidentally during coronary artery angiogram or post mortem examinations. Single coronary artery (SCA) anomalies are a subset of coronary artery anomalies. The prevalence of single coronary anomalies in the general population is approximately 0.024% according to Lipton’s reports. The various patterns of SCA are difficult to understand. Lipton et al. systematically classified the different types of SCA. Most of the cases of SCA are asymptomatic .The malignant variety of SCA is the type in which the coronary artery courses between the great vessels (Aorta and Pulmonary artery).
