Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories, Division of Cardiology, University Hospitals of Cleveland, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio Anomalous origin of a septal perforator artery is an infrequent angiographic finding. However, its recognition is important in patients with coronary artery disease in order to avoid misdiagnosis and consequent management mistake. In 2 patients, coronary arteriography demonstrated an anomalous septal perfora tor artery supplying significant blood flow to a myocardial region previously perfused by a severely obstructed major coronary vessel. It appears that an anomalous septal artery can serve as an important source for supportive circu lation in severe coronary artery disease.
