A rare case of an anomalous left coronary artery arising from the right sinus of Valsalva asso ciated with bicuspid aortic valve is presented. This case is unique because these congenital anomalies were associated with rheumatic mitral stenosis. This anomalous coronary origin was found at catheterization before balloon mitral valvuloplasty. The clinical significance of this finding is discussed.
