A left anterior descending artery (LAD) arising from the right coronary artery (RCA) or right sinus of Valsalva is an exceedingly rare anomalous variant occurring in 0.03% of the population. We here present the case of an 81-year-old male with severe triple vessel coronary artery disease who was found to have an aberrant LAD arising from the proximal RCA, and was successfully treated with off-pump, total arterial, and complete surgical revascularization.
