Here, we present a case of acute myocardial infarction caused by an aortic valve tumor. Electrocardiography (ECG)‐gated four‐dimensional computed tomography revealed obstruction of the right coronary ostium by a mobile mass during systole. To ensure an accurate diagnosis of angina in patients without significant coronary artery disease, ECG‐gated four‐dimensional computed tomography is useful because it can simultaneously visualize the coronary ostium and arteries, aortic valve leaflets, and mass.
