title: Post mortem coronary angiographic visualization of a rare sinus node artery anatomical variant.
abstract: The incidence of sinoatrial artery variants and their significance have been repeatedly reported in the literature. Herein we describe a rare post mortem angiographic finding which concerns a unique and previously unreported case where the sinus node artery had an abnormal origin from the proximal conus artery. Although it was asymptomatic, any possible involvement with invasive or surgical procedures and its clinical consequences should be considered.
