Özet

Double right coronary artery (RCA) is a very rare coronary artery anomaly. Double RCA variations are incidentally discovered, because they are asymptomatic. The differentiation of true double RCA and high take off of a large right ventricular branch (RVB) in coronary angiograms is a condition that requires quite remarkable attention. Here, we reported a case with acute inferior myocard infarction in whom high take off of a large RVB originated from proximal RCA, mimicking a double RCA. If this type variation is not well-defined along with coronary artery narrowness, it may lead to mistaken distal anastomose during coronary artery bypass surgery. © 2012 Düzce Medical Journal.
