Abstract

Coarctation of the aorta is a form of congenital heart disease requiring surgical intervention. If is often associated with other forms of congenital heart disease. Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery (ALCA) from the opposite sinus of Valsalva is implicated in sudden cardiac death. We report the first case in the literature of coarctation of the aorta associated with ALCA from the opposite aortic sinus and describe surgical correction of these two lesions.
