Objective: An anomalous origin of the Right Coronary Artery (RCA) from the left sinus of Valsalva with an interarterial course is a rare congenital anomaly. We aimed to assess mid-term results after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting for treatment of Anomalous right coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva.Methods: Between the year 2008 and 2012, a total of 16 patients underwent off-pump CABG for treatment of the right coronary artery of an anomalous origin from the Left Sinus of Valsalva. Their details such as risk factors, operative details, and results of multi-slice coronary angiography follow-up were assessed.Results: The mean age of these patients was 34.8 ± 4.68 years, and most of the patients were male (15/16: 93.75%). The patients received a mean of 1.5 ± 0.87 grafts. Closure of the .. View More»
