  • Title: Anomalous origin of the left anterior descending coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk.
    Author: Donaldson RM, Thornton A, Raphael MJ, Sturridge MF, Emanuel RW.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiol; 1979 Oct; 10(4):295-300. PubMed ID: 499285.
    Abstract:
    An extremely rare congenital abnormality is reported in which the anterior descending branch of the left main coronary artery arises independently from the pulmonary trunk in a young patient who presented with unstable angina. Its clinical presentation, angiographic identification and surgical treatment are described. It appears to be a distinct entity with few of the features of the classical form of anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery.
