I |
LAD Proper |
LAD Proper |
Originates from the LAD proper and terminates in the proximal AIS |
Descends on LV side of the proximal AIS and enters the distal anterior interventricular sulcus |
II |
LAD Proper |
LAD Proper |
Originates from the LAD proper and terminates in the proximal AIS |
Descends on the RV side of the proximal AIS and reenters the distal AIS |
III |
LAD Proper |
LAD Proper |
Originates from the LAD proper and terminates in the proximal AIS |
Courses through the intramyocardial septum proximally, and may emerge in the distal AIS or terminate in the apical septum |
IV |
LMCA |
RCA |
Originates from the LMCA and terminates in the proximal AIS |
Courses along an anomalous prepulmonic course anterior to the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and reenters the distal AIS |
V |
LCS |
RCS |
Originates from the left coronary sinus (LCS) and terminates in the proximal AIS |
Courses along an anomalous intramyocardial course within the septal crest, emerges epicardially, to enter the distal AIS |
VI |
LMCA |
RCA |
Originates from the LMCA and terminates in the proximal AIS |
Courses between the RVOT and the aortic root and emerges in distal AIS |
VII |

Courses along the inferior wall of the RV and traverses the apex to terminate in the distal AIS |
IX |
LAD Proper |
LAD Proper |
Originates from the LAD proper and terminates in the proximal AIS |
Courses along the LV side of the AIS, enters the distal AIS and terminates before the apex |
X |
LMCA |
RCS |
Originates from the LMCA and terminates in the proximal AIS |
Courses along an anomalous prepulmonic course anterior to the RVOT and reenters the distal AIS |
XI |
RCS |
RCS |
Originates from the RCS, takes an intramyocardial course within proximal septum and emerges in the proximal AIS |
Courses along an anomalous prepulmonic course anterior to the RVOT and reenters the distal AIS |
