Coronary artery anomalies are congenital variations of the origin(s), course(s), and terminations(s) of the 3 main epicardial coronary arteries that make up less than 1% of cases. Clinically, coronary artery anomalies can be asymptomatic or present with dyspnea, chest pain, and even sudden cardiac death. In this report, we discuss the case of a patient who was found to have a rare presentation of an anomalous right coronary artery originating from the anterior ascending aorta 20.9 mm above the sino-tubular junction that was discovered on coronary CT angiography.
