Sumario:Congenital atresia of the left main coronary artery is a rare coronary anomaly, in which the left coronary ostium is absent and the blood supply to the entire heart is provided by the right coronary artery.

Coronary CT Angiography has gained a major role in coronary anomalies assessment, thank to high spatial and temporal resolution.
