Anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the right aortic sinus: a familial clustering

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1993 Aug;29(4):277-8. doi: 10.1002/ccd.1810290405.

Abstract

Origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva or the right coronary artery is a well-described anomaly. We report 3 cases which suggest a familial association of this anomaly. The familial clustering that we report has not been previously demonstrated.
