Separate origin of a large septal perforator branch.
A patient with an inferior myocardial infarction was successfully treated with thrombolytic therapy. At selective coronary arteriography a large septal perforator branch originating from the right coronary sinus anastomosing to the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery was seen. As far as we know, this has never been described before.
