I wonder what this says for other types... Nice read, thanks!

Wow, the pics were great. Nice definition on each of the arteries. I'm blown away. I wonder why the one chin had a small artery originating from the cranial surface of the aorta. Too small to be the right coronary artery though? Strange why only one had the baby right coronary artery? Wonder what a larger study would have produced as results? Anyhow, thanks for another great chin article. Is there a good place to search for articles or is it all just a google search? - Jessica
