Overview of coronary artery variants, aberrations and anomalies

Figure 6 Ectopic right coronary artery originating from the left sinus of Valsalva. A, B: Proximal occlusion of anomalous right coronary artery (RCA) (white arrows) with origin from the left sinus of Valsalva in a patient with inferior wall ST elevation myocardial infarction (A: anteroposterior caudal view; B: right anterior oblique view). The black arrow in panel B shows a patent proximal left anterior descending artery in non-selective angiography of the left coronary artery (LCA); C, D: Left anterior oblique view with cranial angulation (C) and anteroposterior cranial view (D) show the LCA and an excellent final angiographic of the anomalous RCA after successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
