Introduction: congenital anomaly. SCA may cause ischemia, congestive heart failure, and accidental cardiac death in most cases, which are asymptomatic and unintentional.
Case report: tomography angiography (CCTA) was done two weeks after the PCI procedure. From CCTA, it was confirmed the absence of RCA and no coronary stenosis.
Conclusion: One of the rarest coronary artery anomalies is left SCA with congenital absence of the RCA. It is associated with ischemia in some patients and may be life-threatening. For diagnosis and risk stratification, CCTA is the preferred method.
