Congenital coronary artery anomalies are rare disease entities, occur only in 0.3%-5.6% of the general population. These anomalies could lead to serious complications in some cases and is associated with associated with sudden death due to lethal arrhythmias and premature coronary artery disease. Diagnosis of these anomalies is generally made during angiography. In this report, we present a rare case of absent left main coronary artery and anomalous origins of left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery from right sinus of Valsalva in a 62 year old man presented with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
