ABSTRACT
Anomalous origin of right coronary artery from left sinus of valsalva is associated with sudden unexpected death, syncope, arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia. The mechanism that explains the restriction of coronary flow in the anomalous coronary artery is unclear but several surgical methods have been proposed, such as coronary artery bypass graft, coronary reimplantation, translocation of pulmonary artery, and unroofing procedure. We reported the surgical correction of the anomalous origin of right coronary artery from left sinus of valsalva between the aorta and pulmonary trunk using the unroofing procedure.
