Ectopic origin of the left coronary artery from the right sinus of valsalva with anterior and posterior courses are thought to be benign anomalies. METHODS a 58-year-old woman died suddenly after a car accident without having sustained any injuries. The only abnormal finding was an ectopic origin of the left coronary artery from the right sinus with anterior free wall course. The anomaly was complicated by the absence of a left descending branch and a hypoplastic circumflex artery. A 38-year-old male died suddenly during work. Beside the ostium of the right coronary artery originated the normal calibered circumflex branch of the left coronary artery which passed behind the aorta. The left anterior descending branch had a normal origin. There was a 2 cm in diameter transmural infarct observed microscopically.
