Double Non Coronary Aortic Sinuses: An Autopsy Case Finding Showing the Arterial Variation
We report a case of variant origin of the right coronary artery from the left posterior aortic sinus. This was observed routinely during a medico legal autopsy of a 58 year old male who died in a road traffic accident. Initially it was believed that the right coronary artery was absent since there w...
