An isolated single L-II type coronary artery anomaly: A rare coronary anomaly.
The incidence of congenital artery anomalies is 0.2-1.4%, and most are benign. Single coronary artery (SCA) anomalies are very rare. The right coronary artery (RCA) originating from the left coronary system is one such SCA anomaly, and the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) increases if it courses between the pulmonary artery and aorta and coexists with other congenital heart diseases. Addition...
متن کاملTwin circumflex arteries: a rare coronary artery anomaly.
Dual origin of the circumflex artery is an extremely rare anomaly. We report a rare case of a left circumflex artery arising from the left mainstem and an anomalous circumflex artery from a separate ostium in the right coronary sinus. Both these arteries supplied the circumflex territory. The potential pathological significance of the anomaly and pitfalls of the misdiagnosis are also discussed.
متن کاملDual left anterior descending coronary artery (type IV): a rare coronary artery anomaly
The variants of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery are important in interpretation of coronary angiogram and in interventional procedures. The double LAD coronary artery originating from the left main coronary stem and the right coronary artery is a rare congenital coronary anomaly. In this case report, we are describing a patient with the double left anterior descending coronar...
متن کاملA rare Congenital Coronary Artery Anomaly: Woven Right Coronary Artery associated with Myocardial Infarction
Woven coronary artery (WCA) is an extremely rare and still not a clearly de ined coronary anomaly. It is characterized by the division of epicardial coronary artery into thin channels which then reanastomose with the distal part of the abnormal coronary artery [1]. Since the angiographic imaging of WCA looks like an intracoronary thrombus and dissection; the differential diagnosis between ather...
متن کاملanomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the midportion of the left anterior descending artery: a rare coronary anomaly
the anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (rca) as a branch from the left anterior descending artery (lad) is a very rare variation of the single coronary artery anomaly. the anomalous vessel arises from the proximal or midportion of the lad and courses anterior to the pulmonary artery trunk in most instances. in this case report, a 61-year-old woman is introduced who underwent coronary...
