  • Abstract
    We present a 49-year-old female case of anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk. Multidetector computed tomography was performed, and 3-dimensional reconstruction of computed tomographic images found that the left main coronary artery originated from left sinus of the pulmonary trunk and the right coronary artery from the right coronary cusp of the aorta. We speculate that this patientʹs long life may be due to the dominant right coronary artery and rich collateral from the right coronary artery to the left coronary artery.
