Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right aortic sinus: probably benign variant associated with a subpulmonic intramyocardial course - a case report.

According to the literature AAOLCA with subpulmonary intramyocardial course appears to be associated with significantly less clinical problems than AAOLCA taking an interarterial course. The diagnosis can be suspected based on echocardiography and confirmed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Until now there are only few data concerning the natural history and incidence of complications in this specific anomaly. Despite the probably benign nature we recommend regular follow-up examinations including stress-testing in these patients.
