Abstract
Coronary artery anomalies are rare; however, can be a potential cause of significant morbidity and even mortality. Crossed left anterior descending and left circumflex arteries is a rare finding, and therefore the significance of this finding is not well understood. CT coronary angiography is an excellent non-invasive modality which enables the diagnosis of such abnormalities, and it is likely that with the increased use of CT coronary angiography in cardiology, other similar cases will be diagnosed.
