Double left anterior descending artery arising from the left and right coronary arteries: Depiction at multidetector-row computed tomography

Abstract Double left anterior descending artery arising from the left and right coronary arteries is an extremely rare congenital coronary anomaly, although it has no clinical significance unless atherosclerotic coronary artery disease superimposes. We describe, for the first time, multidetector-row...

Description
Summary:Abstract Double left anterior descending artery arising from the left and right coronary arteries is an extremely rare congenital coronary anomaly, although it has no clinical significance unless atherosclerotic coronary artery disease superimposes. We describe, for the first time, multidetector-row computed tomographic findings of double left anterior descending artery.
