Summary

A patient with coronary artery steal phenomenon through an anastomosis from the right coronary artery to the right bronchial artery, caused by a coarctation of the aorta, is reported. The angina was completely relieved after surgical ligation of the anastomotic vessel and repair of the coarctation.

The literature has been reviewed, and the present case appears to be the first with symptomatic steal phenomenon in connection with coarctation of the aorta.

Key words
