Abstract
Woven coronary artery is an extremely rare and is still not a clearly defined coronary anomaly in which epicardial coronary artery is divided into multiple thin channels at any segment of the coronary artery, and subsequently, these multiple channels merge again in a normal conduit. A few cases have been reported till now. In this case report, we present a 58‐year‐old male with a woven right coronary artery. Copyright © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
