The explanation for this difficulty is that the ostium of the coronary sinus is not aligned with the tricuspid orifice and that a loop must be made before a lead can pass the tricuspid valve.

Among the 18 cases that originated from the LCA, 11 (32.3%) cases originated from the LAD [Figure 1] and [Figure 4], three (8.8%) cases originated from the left main artery (LMA), two (5.9%) cases originated from the left circumflex artery (LCX) [Figure 3] and [Figure 5], and two (5.9%) cases originated from the left coronary sinus. Among the 12 cases that originated from the RCA, seven (20.6%) cases originated from the proximal RCA, two (5.9%) originated from the distal RCA [Figure 3], and three (8.8%) from the right coronary sinus.

[1-3] The most common congenital anomaly is separate origin of the left anterior descending artery and circumflex artery from the left coronary sinus. [4] The left main coronary artery or left anterior descending artery arising from the right coronary sinus of Valsalva and right coronary artery originating from the left coronary sinus of Valsalva may be associated with sudden cardiac death, hence deserve special attention.
