We present a patient with an abnormal origin of the right coronary artery from the left anterior descending artery. The patient had chest pain probably related to myocardial ischaemia. This anomaly is very rare and has previously been reported in only three cases. The abnormal vessel travelled rightwards and remained anterior to the main pulmonary artery, it was free of significant stenosis. The mechanism of anterior myocardial ischaemia remains unexplained.
