We report a case of an 87-year-old man where coronary CT angiography incidentally demonstrated a "split" right coronary artery (RCA) featuring a "split" posterior descending artery. This case focusses on the morphological description of this variant as well as its differentiation from a "dual" or "duplicated" RCA.
