High take-off right coronary artery in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot.

High take-off coronary artery anomaly is a quite rare anomaly which is usually seen in isolated form and diagnosed incidentally. Association with tetralogy of Fallot is also rare and it is not one of the well-known coronary anomalies seen in this disease. Here, we describe high take-off right coronary artery in a 10-month-old female patient with tetralogy of Fallot which was diagnosed during catheter angiography. It is very important to show this anomaly sometimes with additional imaging techniques as it alters all the surgical approach including aortic cannulation.
