Abstract :
A 47-year-old female presented to our hospital with symptoms of stable angina. Cardiac catheterization revealed a rare coronary
artery anomaly of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery branching off the right coronary artery ostium. Furthermore, the
anomalous LAD artery exhibited significant atherosclerotic obstruction. Our review of the literature found only nine such
previously described cases. Due to the unique nature of coronary artery anomalies and their complications, we would like to
contribute our case to the medical literature.
