Key result
A 65-year-old man presented with effort angina and was found to have a rare coronary anomaly where the posterior descending artery arises from the left anterior descending artery.
Why the study?
The origin of the posterior descending artery from the left anterior descending artery is a rare coronary anomaly with limited clinical descriptions.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare congenital coronary anomaly involving a super dominant LAD supplying the PDA and posterior left ventricular artery via a septal branch.
Rare PDA origin from LAD warrants angiographic vigilance; leaves open prevalence, ischemic risk, and management implications.
