title: Case report. Triple origin of left coronary arteries from right coronary artery: unusual case of single coronary artery.
abstract: A rare case of coronary anomaly is presented: all of the coronary arteries orignated from a single ostium located in the right coronary cusp. No clinical evidence of coronary pathology was recognized until the age of 57 years when the patient was found to have coronary obstructive disease. The single coronary artery had a main branch corresponding to the usual dominant right coronary artery. Three other branches separated from this and vascularized the areas normally receiving the circumflex and ramus medianus, the left anterior descending, and a large septal branch.
