Abstract

In the coronary angiogram of a 73-year-old man with angina pectoris, we noted the right coronary artery (RCA) proximally occluded with an atrial intra-coronary collateral pathway emerging from a proximal sinus node artery (SNA) and ending to a distal “right posterior” SNA (RPSNA), which was retrogradely supplying the peripheral RCA; such right posterior sinus node artery was first described, coined and reported back in 2000.
