title: Anomalous origin of the stenosed circumflex artery from the right coronary artery.
abstract: During recent years, anatomic variations of coronary arteries have been described with the aid of elective coronary arteriography. We report a case of anomalous origin of the stenosed circumflex artery from the right coronary artery. The patient was operated upon successfully, and the right internal mammary artery was placed on the circumflex artery.
