Abstract

Coronary artery anomalies have a prevalence of less than 1% in the general population with an incidence ranging from 0.17% in autopsy cases to 1.2% in angiographically evaluated cases [1]. A single coronary artery is among the rarest coronary artery anomalies, seen in only 0.024-0.044% of the population [2]. Here, we report two cases of single coronary artery anomalies with two different presentations and classifications. Keywords: Anomalous, Angiography, Angioplasty, Coronary intervention.
