Among these is a single coronary artery (SCA), a rare congenital condition in which the entire coronary circulation originates from a single coronary ostium. Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) enables simultaneous evaluation of coronary artery anatomy and aortic valve morphology with high spatial resolution, which may influence procedural strategy in patients undergoing valve interventions. Case Presentation: This report represents the first documented case of a 59-year-old male with mixed aortic valve disease in whom preoperative CCT revealed the coexistence of BAV, SCA (Lipton type L-I), and myocardial bridging (MB) involving the mid segment of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Identification of these findings was crucial for preoperative assessment and contributed to the selection of an appropriate surgical strategy. Conclusions: CCT plays a key role in the preoperative evaluation of valvular heart disease, including in patients with coexisting BAV and SCA. It enables individualized procedural planning and minimizes the risk of perioperative complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/reports9020156","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,19]],"date-time":"2026-05-19T08:55:28Z","timestamp":1779180928000},"page":"156","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Rare Coexistence of a Single Coronary Artery, Myocardial Bridging, and Bicuspid Aortic Valve Detected by Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography During Preoperative Assessment: A Case Report and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5418-0110","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Machowiec","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Medical University of Lublin, 20-059 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3352-3700","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Przybylski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Medical University of Lublin, 20-059 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4053-7713","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"El\u017cbieta","family":"Czekajska-Chehab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Medical University of Lublin, 20-059 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"156","DOI":"10.1097\/RTI.0000000000000205","article-title":"Coronary artery variants and anomalies in patients with bicuspid aortic valve","volume":"31","author":"Michalowska","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
