Intercoronary Continuity between the Right Coronary Artery and the Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery in the Acute Coronary Syndrome: An Anatomical View

Abstract

Intercoronary continuity, a rare variant of the coronary circulation, is a congenital open-ended connection between two major epicardial coronary arteries. This connection may play a protective role against possible obstructive coronary artery disease or may be related to the phenomenon of coronary steal. In this case, we discuss intercoronary continuity between the right coronary artery and the left anterior descending coronary artery in the acute coronary syndrome by the anatomical view.
