A 68-year-old Asian gentleman presented with limiting angina pectoris
following myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography demonstrated complete
occlusion of the left anterior descending artery after the first septal,
the proximal right coronary artery and also the proximal part of the
circumflex. The myocardial blood supply was wholly dependent on two septal
arteries.
