Sağ sinüs valsalvadan kaynaklanan sirkumfleks koroner arter anomalisi en sık görülen koroner arter anomalisiyken, sirkumfleks arterin çift olması nadir bir anomalidir.Burada sağ koroner sinüsten çıkan sirkumfleks arter ile sol koroner arterden çıkan sirkumfleks arterin oluşturduğu ikiz sirkümfleks arter anomalisini tanımladık.Anahtar kelimeler: Koroner arter anomalisi, ikiz sirkumfleks arter, sağ sinüs valsalva

Anahtar Kelimeler

Coronary artery anomalies, twin circumflex arteries, right sinus of valsalva

İkiz Sirkumfleks Arter: Nadir bir koroner anomali

Öz

A circumflex coronary artery anomalously originating from the right sinus of Valsalva is the most common coronary anomaly; however dual origin of the circumflex artery is a rare anomaly. We describe here the report of 'twin' circumflex arteries with the anomalous circumflex coronary artery arising from the right coronary sinus and a circumflex artery from left coronary artery.Keywords: Coronary artery anomalies, twin circumflex arteries, right sinus of valsalva
