b. The PDA gives off the AV nodal artery

In 80%–85% of cases the circumflex coronary artery ends with branches to the left ventricle while the PDA originates from the right coronary in 80%–85% of cases. The PDA gives off the AV nodal artery and its occlusion can result in heart block. The great cardiac vein ascends along the left anterior descending coronary artery and the Thebesian veins drain all 4 chambers.
