Abstract

Anomalous origin of the coronary arteries is a well-known phenomenon, but is less well reported in world literature. We present our findings in a one year old boy in whom there was bifid, or “y”, origin of the right coronary artery, co-existing with a fistula from the right coronary artery which opened into the right ventricle.
