title: Left coronary dominance due to direct continuation of the left anterior descending to form the posterior descending coronary artery.
abstract: Continuation of the left anterior descending to form the posterior descending artery is rarely observed. We describe the first patient with this variant in whom the coronary artery extends beyond the crux, supplying branches to the atrioventricular node and both atrioventricular grooves.
