title: [Anomalous origin of the septal branch of a dual left anterior descending coronary artery from the right aortic sinus of Valsalva].
abstract: We report the case of a patient with effort angina and negative stress tests. Coronary angiography revealed the anomalous origin of the anterior septal branch from the right aortic sinus. The hypotheses concerning the pathophysiology of anomalous coronary arteries were reviewed in order to explain the symptoms and negativity of stress tests, as well as to address therapy and stratify the patient risk.
