Circumflex Coronary Artery
The Circumflex
(Circ) coronary artery is a branch of the left
main coronary artery. It travels in the left atrio-ventricular
groove that separates the left atrium from the left
ventricle. The Circ moves away from the LAD and wraps
around to the back of the heart. The major branches
that it gives off in the proximal or initial portion
are known as obtuse (pronounced Ob-tews) marginal
or OM coronary arteries. As it makes
its way to the back or posterior portion of the heart,
it gives off one or more left postero-lateral (PL) branches.
In 85% of cases, the Circ terminates
at this point and is known as a non-dominant
left coronary artery system. In the other 15% of cases,
a dominant Circ supplies the PDA or
posterior descending artery, which run in the bottom
of the heart within a groove that separates the left
from the right ventricle.
