Anomalous septal perforator artery arising from the proximal right coronary artery

The interventricular septum is the most densely vascularized portion of the heart, containing important elements of the cardiac conduction system and providing mechanical support for both right and left ventricular function. The diagnosis and understanding of anomalies in coronary circulation are important when surgical or percutaneous myocardial revascularization is required. We report the case of a patient with an anomalous septal perforator artery arising from the proximal portion of the right coronary artery.
