In this case report a 30-year-old woman suffering from progressive angina pectoris and dyspnea, having been operated on previously for atrial septum defect at the age of 19 and later aged 24 for coarctation of the aorta, is described. Upon observation, patient showed cardiac symptoms already under mild stress and remained resistant to nitroglycerin. Rest-ECG and serum cardiac enzymes were repeatedly without findings, while stress-ECG at a level of 100 W showed a ST-segment depression of 0.15 mV, at the same time complaining of angina pectoris symptoms. Coronary angiography revealed a left circumflex coronary artery arising from the left atrium being fully supplied by the left anterior descendent artery and the right coronary artery via pronounced collaterals, both originating from the ascending aorta. Despite such severe symptoms patient refused surgery suturing the abnormally arising artery. One year following coronary angiography patient is suffering from stabile angina pectoris without occurrence of myocardial infarction or another cardiovascular event.
