Abstract :
Various coronary artery anomalies have been described in the literature, with a range of occurrence from 0.6 to 1.3%. Although most coronary artery anomalies do not cause myocardial ischemia and mostly diagnosed incidentally, some of these anomalies can result in angina, myocardial infarction or sudden death. The left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) is the usual source of blood supply to the apex of the left ventricle.
