Coronary artery abnormalities are congenital deformities including the origin, tract, and structure of the coronary arteries. Intercoronary communicating vessels are the conduits between two or more coronary arteries enabling either one- or two-way blood flow and they are exceptionally rare. In this article, we present a 54-year-old male case of coronary artery abnormality with typical chest pain and exertional angina and discuss surgical revascularization in the light of literature data.
