title: Anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the right aortic sinus of valsalva and sudden death.
abstract: Anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the right aortic sinus is generally considered a benign condition. We report a 53-year-old man with clinical and pathologic evidence of myocardial infarction and sudden death in the setting of this anomaly, with no evidence of obstructive coronary atherosclerosis.
