El origen del tronco coronario principal izquierdo a partir de la arteria coronaria derecha o del seno de Valsava opuesto, es una anomalía extremadamente rara con un riesgo potencial de mortalidad. En este informe se describe el caso de una paciente con esta anomalía, inicialmente detectada por coronariografía y posteriormente confirmada mediante resonancia magnética cardiaca.
Palabras clave:
circulación coronaria
angiografía coronaria

hallazgos incidentales
The left main coronary artery arising from the opposite sinus of Valsalva or from the right coronary artery is an extremely rare condition with a potential risk of mortality. This report describes the case of a female patient with this coronary artery anomaly, initially detected by coronariography and subsequently confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance.
Key words:
coronary circulation
coronary angiography
coronary vessel anomalies
