Dual left anterior descending artery is a rare coronary artery anomaly. In this case report, we present a case of 54-year-old male admitting with chest pain and type I dual left anterior descending artery detected on his coronary angiography. Dual left anterior descending artery (especially type I) has been usually reported to have no clinical significance. However, it is important to know the anatomic variations of this anomaly in patients with coronary artery disease in whom either surgical revascularization or percutaneous revascularization will be performed.
