| Abstract |
A normal anatomy of coronary arteries is important to have adequate cardiac muscle blood supply especially during extraneous physical activities. This case report describes a rare coronary anomaly in which the accessory coronary artery arose from the right coronary artery, reentered the left anterior descending coronary artery, and then ran as a single vessel. We present a case of a coronary anomaly in a 47-year-old white man who presented with atypical angina. Computed tomographic angiography and coronary angiography showed a variant of dual left anterior descending coronary artery not previously described. Our patient's accessory coronary artery arose from his right coronary artery. It took an intramuscular course beneath the right ventricular outflow tract in the interventricular septal area to the anterior interventricular sulcus, giving off septal perforators that reentered his medial left anterior descending coronary artery. Both vessels ran after the anastomosis in the anterior interventricular sulcus as a single vessel. We propose that this anomaly represents a new variant of coronary artery anomaly. This coronary artery anomaly does not cause ischemia. Recognition of this coronary anomaly is important in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft operations. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 August 2016.
All research outputs
#20,994,646
of 23,630,563 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#3,599
of 4,099 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#325,083
of 369,641 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#71
of 72 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,630,563 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,099 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 369,641 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 72 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
