Abstract
A 45-year-old man presented after an episode of central chest pain. Catheter angiography revealed an aberrant circumflex artery and high-grade stenosis in the mid RCA and proximal CX arteries. Previous case series have suggested that the retroaortic portion of aberrant circumflex arteries may be particularly prone to the development of atherosclerosis.
