Single coronary artery is an extremely rare congenital coronary anomaly. Although it is not frequently identified, due to the lack of clinical manifestations, it may cause significant myocardial ischemia and sudden death. We report the case of an 80-year old woman who had an acute myocardial infarction and was found to have a single coronary artery during primary coronary angioplasty. A literature review, detailing the classification, pathophysiology, clinical profile and significance, screening and therapeutic approaches of this anomaly is provided.
