Abstract

We report an extremely rare case of a 14-month-old girl who was diagnosed with a single right coronary artery with coronary artery fistula communicating with the right ventricle and congenital absence of left coronary artery. Angiography showed a dilated and tortuous single right coronary artery draining into the right ventricle, absence of left coronary system, and left ventricular coronary circulation supplied via collateral vessels.
