Abstract :
Knowledge of the morphoanatomical characteristics of the main trunk of the left coronary artery as well as its variations is
cornerstone of hemodynamic, correct interpretation of coronary angiogram and for revascularization purpose. The left main
coronary artery (LMCA) ranges from 3 to 6 mm in diameter and may be up to 10 to 15 mm in length in humans. We here report a
case of the longest anomalous LMCA (56 mm) reported so far in a 35-year-old man with chronic stable angina arising from right
sinus of valsalva as seen on conventional angiogram and multidetector computerized tomogram (MDCT).
