Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the anterior aortic sinus: role of echocardiography
Abstract
Sudden death in the young is a dramatic event which can be avoided with a preventive identification of the underlying cause. We report one case in which we identify the anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.
