چکیده

UNLABELLED Some anomalies of the conus artery are relatively common, such as those arising from the discrete ostium of the right coronary artery. We report a 63 y/o male with an unusual anatomic variation of the conus artery terminating in the pericardium. Coronary anomalies may cause coronary ischemia, infarction and sudden cardiac death; hence, it is significant to identify coronary anomalies. Here, we identify an unusual conus artery anomaly for the first time, with accompanying imaging showing its very rare anatomical features that may be of interest to the larger medical community. KEY WORDS Anomaly; Coronary angiography; Coronary artery.
