Single coronary artery is a rare but potentially devastating anomaly. Most cases are asymptomatic and found incidentally in patients that undergo coronary angiography. Such patients are more prone to acute coronary syndrome if an atherosclerotic plaque develops at the origin of the coronary ostia. We report an interesting case of single coronary artery arising from the right coronary cusp with anomalous origin of the left anterior descending and left circumflex coronary arteries that was found incidentally while evaluating a patient with acute coronary syndrome.
