title: Separate origins of three coronary arteries arising from the right sinus of Valsalva.
abstract: A 58-year-old woman underwent coronary angiography because of chest pain on exertion. Her three coronary arteries arose from separate ostia in the right sinus of Valsalva. The left anterior descending coronary artery coursed between the great vessels, and the circumflex coronary artery coursed anterior to the pulmonary artery. Angiographic and clinical data of this rare anomaly are described.
