title: Anomalous origin of the right coronary high above the left sinus of Valsalva.
abstract: Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the ascending aorta above the left sinus of Valsalva is exceedingly rare and previously has been reported to be associated with congenital aortic valve disease. We report a case of the right coronary artery arising from the mid ascending aorta, high above the left sinus, with a clinically and angiographically normal aortic valve.
