Ectopic right coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery: a rare congenital malformation

Abstract

An ectopic origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is an extremely rare congenital malformation. This case report aimed to review our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery anomalies. We report a case of ectopic origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. We analyzed the taxonomy and clinical implications of the ectopic origin of the coronary artery. The findings of this case may increase patients’ and clinicians’ awareness of this anomaly.
