We report a patient in the sixth decade of life with a benign anomalous course and a history of atherosclerotic disease in the right coronary artery with the presence of ischemia. We present a clinical case of infrequent finding of abnormal left coronary artery and obstructive atherosclerotic lesion in the circumflex artery. The authors decided to perform coronary angioplasty on the lesion found. Because it is an infrequent condition, we conducted a literature search in which we focused on the statistical findings, the clinical presentation and detailed the treatment of the patient by means of coronary angioplasty. Despite the difficulty of the case, success was achieved.
