Abstract
The increasing frequency of reoperation for coronary artery disease has led to the use of a variety of grafts. This report describes the catheter technique for selective opacification of a saphenous vein graft from the descending thoracic aorta to the posterior coronary circulation.

A 77-year-old male presented with a recent posterior myocardial infarction for coronary angiography. This angiogram revealed a rare, previously unreported anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery distal to the first major diagonal branc
This is the first presentation of anomalous origin of right coronary artery (RCA) from mid-left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. A 77-year-old male was catheterized because of recent onset of fatigue during exertion. The LAD demonstrated 50-60% narrowing just proximal to the anomalous orig
