We report a case of a 14‐year‐old female with abnormally high takeoff of the right coronary artery (RCA) that was associated with a ventricular septal defect, right aortic arch, and bridging bronchus. During surgery, an exceptionally high takeoff of the RCA was discovered. Postoperative computed tomography confirmed the presence of the associated right aortic arch with anomalous branching pattern, and bridging bronchus. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12379 (J Card Surg 2014;29:829–831)
