title: Morphological and functional assessment of the septal course of a left coronary artery originating from the right sinus of valsalva in a heart transplant patient.
abstract: A septal course of the left main coronary artery originating from the right sinus of Valsalva is a rare coronary anomaly of unknown clinical significance. We report on the morphological and functional assessment of this coronary anomaly detected incidentally in a 53-year-old asymptomatic man after orthotopic heart transplantation.
