Fifty-four cases with anomalies involving the coronary artery circulation were found among 18,950 autopsies during a 10-year period at the Los Angeles County Hospital. The purpose of this survey is to present the different types of coronary artery anomalies and to elucidate their practical clinical significance.
The literature has been reviewed, and 58 autopsied cases of dissecting aneurysm of the aorta observed at the Los Angeles County Hospital over a ten year period have been carefully studied. Clinical-pathologic correlation has been attempted whenever possible, with emphasis on diagnostic features. The
