Abstract

Anomalous right coronary artery (RCA) from the main pulmonary artery (ARCAPA) is a rare finding. Clinical presentations range from asymptomatic to sudden death. We present the case of ARCAPA in a septuagenarian initially suspected on a screening chest computed tomography (CT) and later confirmed on cardiac CT. A summary of important points related to this entity is also discussed.
