Abstract
A single coronary artery (SCA) is a rare congenital anomaly. In most cases, it is an incidental finding on coronary angiography and has no clinical significance. However, it can cause angina, myocardial infarction, or even sudden death. Reports of SCA with acute myocardial infarction are very rare in the medical literature. This case study presents a patient with SCA from the right aortic sinus with severe stenosis proximal and distal part of right coronary artery was made using cardiac angiography and cardiac multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) with acute myocardial infarction.
