Abstract:
:We would like to present and discuss the dilemma of an unusual right coronary artery anomaly in two cases. Double right coronary artery or a high take off of a large right ventricular branch are two diagnostic possibilities that may provide difficulty in differentiating such an unusual orientation of coronary arteries based on angiographic views.
