Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery above the left sinus of Valsalva.

Various anomalies of coronary arterial origin have been described. These anatomical variations are discovered either by coronary angiography or at autopsy.

A technique for selectively catheterizing such an aberrant coronary artery is described.
