Anomalous origin of the circumflex coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery is rare, and symptoms are related to the collateralization and amount of myocardium that it supplies. A 50-year-old woman with severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis had the diagnosis of anomalous origin of the circumflex coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery before valve replacement. Ligation and division of the circumflex coronary artery was performed. Myocardial ischemia was not observed. The patient was discharged after an uneventful recovery.
