Zusammenfassung:	Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery is a very rare congenital anomaly, and its occurrence with coarctation of the aorta has been reported in very few patients.

The patient thereafter underwent ligation of the left anomalous coronary artery and had an uneventful convalescence.
