Double left anterior descending ( LAD) artery is a rare coronary artery anomaly. Most coronary artery anomalies are usually asymptomatic. In this case report we describe a patient with double LAD with two branches of almost equal caliber and parallel. Both of the branches had significant proximally stenosis and this condition was demonstrated intraoperatively. This normally originated double LAD may be considered interesting. We revascularized the double LAD with bypass grafting.
