Abstract

We report on a patient with bicuspid aortic valve and anomalous right coronary artery from the opposite sinus without evidence of intramural course. Different authors support the universal presence of intramural course in patients with origin of the right coronary artery from the opposite sinus of Valsalva in normal heart. The occurrence of both bicuspid aortic valve and the absence of intramural course may not be accidental. This might suggest a developmental interaction between bicuspid aortic valve and anomalous coronary artery. Large observational study including characterisation by intravascular ultrasonography in patients with bicuspid aortic valve and anomalous coronary is needed.
