Abstract

The occurrence of super-dominant “single coronary artery” is an extremely rare and seldom reported phenomenon. The heart is dependent on a single vessel which makes its occlusion, if present, catastrophic. Here, the authors present an extremely rare combination of superdominant right coronary artery coexisting with absent left coronary artery and left circumflex artery with abnormal origin of left anterior descending artery from right coronary sinus. Precise morphological and physiological knowledge and evaluation of these anomalies is a must for opting the best available therapeutic modality and better prognosis.

Keywords

left circumflex artery - coronary angiography - coronary artery - superdominant right coronary artery
