Abstract

Many types of coronary artery anomalies have been detected, and most of them occur in the left circumflex artery. In this report a unique circumflex artery anomaly is presented. The left circumflex artery arose as a terminal extension of the right coronary artery. The main stem and obtuse marginal branches of the circumflex artery were normal and well developed.
