Structure

The right marginal branch is the largest branch to split off from the right coronary artery.[1][2] It often anastomoses with the nearby parallel posterior interventricular artery, which itself is usually a continuation of the right coronary artery.[3]

Variation

The right marginal branch may reach the distal part of the posterior interventricular sulcus.[3]

Function

The right marginal branch primarily supplies the right ventricle.[2][4]
