Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left sinus of Valsalva is a serious and potentially fatal, albeit rare, congenital abnormality. It can be associated with marked functional impairment and even sudden death. Transesophageal echocardiography can identify and confirm the course of aberrant coronary arteries and their relationship to the great vessels, as is demonstrated in this report of a 51-year-old female presenting with anomalous right coronary artery with narrowing of its proximal portion.
