[Myocardial ischemia caused by anomaly at the origin of the left coronary artery].
The case of a 68 years old man admitted because of angina "de novo" and submitted to coronariography is reported. The rest ECG showed abnormalities of the ST-T suggesting myocardial ischemia. The coronariography showed: No significant atherosclerotic lesions. The left coronary artery had an anomalous origin; the left descending coronary artery originated from an independent ostium located at the right Valsalva sinus, the circumflex artery had its origin at the same ostium as the right coronary artery.
