Figure 2. (A) Coronary angiography revealed the anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) arising from the right coronary artery (RCA). The LMCA originated from the left circumflex (LCX) and the ramus intermedius (RI). The RCA originated from the posterior descending artery (PDA) and the posterolateral artery (PLA). (B) Nonselective angiography in the left sinus of Valsalva showed the absence of the LMCA.
