From: An unusual pattern of three major components of the cardiovascular system: multimodality imaging and review of the literature

 

Code

Description

Ostial location

R

Right Sinus of Valsava

L

Left Sinus of Valsava

Anatomical distribution

I

The solitary dominant vessel follows the course of either a normal right or left coronary artery

II

One coronary artery arises from the proximal part of the normally located another coronary artery

III

LAD and LCx arise separately from a common trunk originating from the right sinus of Valsava

Course of the transverse trunk

A

Anterior to the great vessels

B

Between the aorta and the pulmonary Arteries

P

Posterior to the great vessels

S

“Septal type” : A part of the route passes through the interventricular septum

 

C

“Combined type” : Combination of diverse routes
