The authors report the case of a patient with transthoracic echocardiography (TEE) suggesting strong suspicion of an anomalous origin of the ramus circumflexus (RCx) from the right coronary sinus; this was subsequently confirmed by coronary arteriography. The paper discusses the incidence of coronary artery anomalies and the potential benefits of TTE use to their diagnosis.
