Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Antero-posterior caudal view (A) and spider view (B) of coronary angiography showed the LAD originating from the proximal RCA. LAD: left anterior descending coronary artery, RCA: right coronary artery.

• 

  Fig. 2 LAO view of coronary angiography showed the LCx originating from the PL branch of RCA. LAO: left anterior oblique, LCx: left cricumflex artery, PL: postero-lateral, RCA: right coronary artery.

• 

  Fig. 3 Antero-posterior cranial view (A) and RAO cranial view (B) of coronary angiography showed that the LAD had a anterior course, and gave rise to the proximal-mid and distal LAD. RAO: right anterior oblique, LAD: left anterior descending artery.
