Double LAD with same origin (type I, II, III) is a rare congenital anomaly, however double LAD arising from right and left main coronary arteries is even more rare (type IV). A 49-year-old male patient was referred to our center with typical angina. Echocardiography revealed depressed left ventricular systolic functions. Coronary angiography showed a terminated LAD in the middle portion of the anterior interventricular sulcus after giving first diagonal and septal branches and a second LAD originating from different ostium in the right coronary sinus and extending to interventricular sulcus distally. The aforementioned findings were compatible with type IV LAD coronary artery anomaly. Herein we aimed to share our revascularization experience in a patient with congenital type IV LAD anomaly.
