AAOCA represents a congenital coronary artery anomaly in which the artery originates from the contralateral aortic sinus. Thus, AAORCA describes the abnormal location of the RCA orifice in the left coronary sinus.

There are various surgical techniques to treat ARCAPA, the most common one being reimplanting the RCA into the right aortic sinus. Other approaches include complete ligation of RCA proximally with saphenous vein graft between the aorta and distal RCA.

The right coronary artery (RCA) arises from the anterior coronary sinus and the left coronary artery (LCA) from the left posterior aortic sinus. In clinical terminology, the anterior, left and right posterior sinuses are often called the right, left, and non-coronary sinuses, respectively.
