"Acute takeoff" of the circumflex artery: a newly recognized coronary anatomic variant with potential clinical consequences. Abstract Text:
Human coronary anatomy allows for a wide range of anatomic variants while maintaining certain consistent features. The use of specific descriptions and names is helpful in talking about variants that have an implicit potential for clinical consequences. In reviewing the angiograms of 813 patients, we newly identified a coronary pattern that we propose to name "acute takeoff of the circumflex artery" in 16 patients (2%). This previously unreported pattern angiographically features a
