A case of crossing coronary arteries.

We present the case of a patient in whom coronary angiography, performed due to severe calcific aortic stenosis, revealed crossing between the left anterior descending artery and the first diagonal branch. There is only a single report presenting this particular coronary anatomy, whereas this is the eleventh case of crossing coronary arteries ever reported. The clinical implications of this variant coronary anatomy with regard to diagnostic angiography and selection of revascularization procedures are briefly discussed.
