Abnormal LCA course

Soap-Bubble reconstruction of a coronary magnetic resonance angiographic image (approximating a shallow left anterior oblique projection) revealing a common origin of both the left and right coronary arteries from the right sinus of Valsalva. The right coronary artery (RCA) has a normal course (arrow) and is visible to the crux; the left main coronary artery (arrowheads) has a benign course running anterior to the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT, path no. 5), then dividing normally into the left anterior descending artery (not included in this image) and the left circumflex artery. Ao, aorta.
