J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown). 2009 Aug;10(8):643-5. doi: 10.2459/JCM.0b013e32832ce97d.

Abstract

The incidence of coronary artery anomalies is about 0.6-1.3% in angiographic studies of the adult population. Double right coronary artery is one of the rarest abnormalities reported in the literature. We report a case of a double right coronary artery originating from a single orifice in a woman who underwent coronary angiography for a pathological transprosthetic aortic gradient.
