Anomalous origin of the coronary aortic artery is the rare cardiac anomaly. Although it can cause angina, syncope, as well as palpitations, many patients are asymptomatic. This curiosity requires surgical treatment or intervention because it is compared with sudden death. Several surgical techniques, such as coronary reimplantation, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), unroofing, as well as neo-ostium formation, have been proposed as treatments. We report the case surgically treated with colour with neo-ostium arrangement in anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right coronary sinus.
