Abstract:
A case report of a rare, presumably congenital form of "single coronary artery", is presented. The authors review the classification and clinical significance of the entity with special emphasis with regard to anginal symptoms and the so called sudden unexpected death syndrome. Details and result of surgical intervention (conventional aorto-coronary saphenous bypass) are discussed.
