Abstract
Double left anterior descending coronary artery originating from the left and right coronaries is an extremely rare coronary artery anomaly. In the present report, an unusual case with double left anterior descending coronary artery arising from the left and right coronary arteries is described. To our knowledge, only a few such cases have been published in the literature so far.
