Single coronary artery is described as an isolated coronary
artery originating from the aortic root through a coronary
ostium without another ostium. Single coronary artery
feeds the whole parts of myocardium. In this article, we
report a 65-year-old male case admitted with typical chest
pain who underwent surgery after coronary angiography
and diagnosed with single coronary artery. Coronary
angiography revealed a whole coronary arterial system
originating from the right sinus valsalva and critical lesions
in the proximal portions of both left anterior descending
artery and right coronary artery. The patient was operated
urgently and discharged in the postoperative fifth day.
