Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left anterior descending coronary artery.
This is the first presentation of anomalous origin of right coronary artery (RCA) from mid-left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. A 77-year-old male was catheterized because of recent onset of fatigue during exertion. The LAD demonstrated 50-60% narrowing just proximal to the anomalous origin of the RCA. The patient was maintained on oral medication.
