Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the ascending aorta above the left sinus of Valsalva is exceedingly rare. We presented a case with anomalous origin of the RCA above the left sinus of Valsalva with inferior wall myocardial infarction and successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention to this artery which is the first report in the literature.
