Congenital absence of the left coronary artery.
Congenital absence of the left coronary artery system and the prevalence of a single right coronary artery to supply the heart is a rare anomaly. There is not yet enough data to determine its importance because only a few have been found in living patients. This is just such a case, diagnosed premortem in an otherwise healthy coronary system with no other physical abnormalities.
