The left coronary artery is an artery which arises from the base of the ascending aorta, passing posterior to the pulmonary trunk and inferior to the left auricle. The left coronary artery is divided into small branches to supply nutrients to the left side of the heart. Its major branches include the circumflex branch and the anterior interventricular branch.

Mostly Anterior Interventricular Artery
Yes, the anterior branch of the left coronary artery, also known as the left anterior descending artery (LAD), courses within the anterior interventricular sulcus. This artery supplies blood to the anterior walls of the left ventricle and interventricular septum. It is a critical vessel for the heart's blood supply.
An artery of Adamkiewicz is the largest anterior segmental medullary artery in humans.
AIA (anterior internal artery) identifies the anterior pituitary gland by supplying blood to it. This artery branches from the internal carotid artery and courses through the pituitary gland, providing oxygenated blood to its anterior portion.
Coronary arteries. The orifice of the coronary arteries are located on proximal part of the ascending aorta, and there are two orifices branching into the left and right coronary arteries.The marginal, anterior and ventricular arteries provide the cardiac muscle with oxygenated blood.The coronary arteries are the major vessels bringing blood to the heart muscle. The are the left and right coronary arteries, the left having a common trunk followed by the circumflex and anterior descending branches. Each of these give off side branches which bring blood and hence oxygen to the heart muscle. Coronary arteries fill during diastole.There is a right coronary artery and the left coronary artery. In total there are four coronary arteries.
The left coronary artery branches into the anterior interventricular artery which supplies blood to the interventricular septum and anterior walls of both ventricles and the circumflex artery which supplies the left atrium and the posterior walls of the left ventricle. The right coronary artery branches into the right marginal artery which serves the myocardium of the lateral right side of the heart and the posterior interventricular artery which supplies the posterior ventricular walls.Reference: Marieb, Elain N.
