Abstract
Coronary anomalous origin from the wrong aortic sinus has been thought to be a risk factor for ischemia because of acute takeoff from the aorta and flow between the aorta and the pulmonary artery.1–4 A 30-year-old man suddenly died within an hour of waking. His clinical history revealed no evidence of any disease, and the postmortem toxicological examination was negative. Autopsy ruled out violent or natural noncardiac causes of death and revealed an underlying congenital heart disease, which was characterized by a congenital bicuspid aortic valve and an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery just above the median raphe of the anterior cuspFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
