Successful streptokinase treatment of a thrombosed, ectopic coronary artery: a case report.

Familiarity with the most common variations of coronary artery orifices and/or divisions of major branches is important for the angiographer to ensure that selective catheterization of the involved artery can be accomplished promptly.
