Abstract A rare case of a patient with supernumerary right coronary artery in whom the two vessels arose from the right coronary sinus from two separate ostia adjacent to each other is presented. The smaller vessel gave off the sinoatrial nodal branch and the posterior descending artery whereas the larger one gave off the conus branch, the right ventricular branches, and continued as acute marginal branch. This is the first case report in the English literature.
