Abstract

Coronary anomalies are found in less than 1% of diagnostic coronary angiograms. The clinical relevance of these anomalies varies from insignificant to potentially lethal. The major role of coronary angiography in interventional cardiology and coronary surgery underscores the importance of having knowledge of the variations in coronary anatomy and their clinical relevance. We report a rare case of a patient with a combination of coronary anomalies: coronary fistulae, a double circumflex coronary artery and anomalous origin of a circumflex artery from the proximal right coronary artery.
