Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann. 2013 Feb;21(1):61-3. doi: 10.1177/0218492312443361.

Abstract

A 53-year-old man, with no medical history, presented with acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiography revealed a common right ostium giving rise to both the right coronary artery and the left main coronary artery. The left interior mammary artery was used as a single bypass graft to the left anterior descending coronary artery. The patient was asymptomatic on follow-up.
