In an anatomy class, dissection of a cadaver led to the discovery of a hitherto not reported extracoronary artery found to take part in supplying blood to the heart of a Japanese male. This artery arose from the concavity of the aortic arch and coursed as far downward as the level of the bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk, dividing here into the arterial porta- and venous porta-related arteries; the latter obviously supplied the atrial portion of the heart. It is believed that this artery is a variant of the bronchial artery.
在一次解剖课上，对一具尸体进行解剖时发现了一条此前未被报道的冠状动脉外动脉，该动脉参与为一名日本男性的心脏供血。这条动脉起自主动脉弓的凹面，向下延伸至肺动脉干分叉水平，在此处分为与动脉门和静脉门相关的动脉；后者显然为心脏的心房部分供血。据信这条动脉是支气管动脉的一种变异。
