“…Without prior imaging, such as coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), interventionalists may face difficulties navigating such variations. For example, in one case where a patient underwent catheterization of an anomalous RCA originating adjacent to the left coronary cusp, it was challenging to maneuver into the vessel due to its superior takeoff and anterior origin [ 14 ]. Similarly, with the anomaly seen in this case, procedural difficulties could arise due to the presence of the carina-like septum dividing the short trunk into two vessels within the common right coronary ostium.…”

A double right coronary artery is one of the rarest variations of the coronary arterial system. This case report presents a unique variation: a right coronary and an accessory coronary artery arise from a single ostium within the right aortic sinus. The two vessels appeared externally to have a common trunk but were partitioned internally by a carina-like septum. This report underscores the importance of understanding the embryological development of coronary arteries and recognizing potential variations. It discusses the specific variation observed in this case and its clinical implications. The aim is to contribute to the limited literature on this condition and highlight the importance of recognizing and managing such anomalies in clinical procedures.
