    Abstract

    The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of various anatomical alterations of the left coronary artery (LCA). The occurrence rate of the left coronary artery (LCA) branching pattern was seen to be 27 out of 30 cases for bifurcation, 2 out of 30 cases for trifurcation, and 1 out of 30 cases for tetrafurcation. The dissection technique will be employed in this research endeavour with the objective of ascertaining the prevalence of quadrifurcation of the coronary artery in a sample of 30 adult human hearts. During the course of our investigation, it was determined that the occurrence rate of quadrifurcation of the left coronary artery was 1 in 30. This study holds significance in ensuring accurate interpretation of coronary angiograms, appropriate care of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, and surgical revascularization of the myocardium. Given the fact that coronary artery disease is a prominent contributor to mortality rates in developing economies. The predominance of coronary artery patterns is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of diagnostic and therapeutic interventional procedures.
