An aberrant but normal left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) arising from the right coronary sinus has no clinical significance per se, and it does not predispose the LCX to a higher incidence of obstructive disease [2]
Int J Case Rep Images 2017;8(2):155–157. www.ijcasereportsandimages.com is classified as benign and asymptomatic, it can cause myocardial ischemia, and in some cases sudden death, myocardial infarction, and angina pectoris in the absence of atherosclerotic lesions. These manifestations might be due to repeated compression of the anomalous artery by a dilated aortic root or to unusual angling as a result of the retroaortic course of the LCX, which can compress the coronary ostium and restrict blood flow
