Summary
Congenital coronary artery anomalies are rare and usually an incidental finding during coronary angiography. Most of the anomalies are benign in nature; however, some are malignant and may result in sudden cardiac death. A 46-year-old woman with diabetes and hypertension underwent coronary angiography for evaluation of exertional angina, which revealed an unusual trifurcation of a single left coronary artery with an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left anterior descending artery but no significant coronary narrowing. The patient was managed conservatively.
