Why the study?
A dual origin of the circumflex coronary artery is an extremely rare coronary artery anomaly.
Twin circumflex arteries are an extremely rare congenital anomaly that can be associated with acute coronary syndrome and require careful angiographic evaluation.
Dual circumflex origins warrant angiographic awareness in ACS; leaves open prevalence and outcomes.
Circumflex coronary artery anomalies are the most common type so far observed. However, a dual origin of the circumflex is an extremely rare anomaly. We describe two different patients admitted to our clinic with acute coronary syndrome at the same day. Angiography revealed twin circumflex arteries: one from the left main artery and the other from the proximal right coronary artery.
