Abstract

Double right coronary artery is a rare anomaly which is mostly identified by two separate pathways with a common ostium (one-two way). We report herein an extremely rare case of congenital true double-lumen right coronary artery, an anomaly, where a common pathway from the ostium to the proximal segment diverged into two separate pathways from the proximal to the mid-segment and then converged into one pathway (one-two-one way).

Keywords: Congenital anomaly; Coronary artery; Right coronary artery.
