Hyperdominant left anterior descending artery continuing across left ventricular apex as posterior descending artery coexistent with aortic stenosis

Hyperdominant left anterior descending artery continuing across left ventricular apex as posterior descending artery coexistent with aortic stenosis

We describe, in a 61 year old man, with coexistent aortic stenosis, the anomalous origin of posterior descending artery (PDA) from a stenotic left anterior descending (LAD) artery, as its continuation across the left ventricular apex, in the presence of a normally arising and atretic proximal right coronary artery. The patient underwent mechanical aortic valve replacement and triple coronary ar...

Posterior Descending Artery Arising as A Continuation of Hyperdominant Left Anterior Descending Artery

Association Between Left Anterior Descending Artery Length with Coronary Artery Dominance: An Angiographic Study

Introduction: Although left anterior descending (LAD) artery supplies a large portion of the myocardium, the amount of blood supply provided by LAD is depended on the length of the LAD. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the association between coronary artery dominance and LAD anatomic types in patients with normal epicardial coronary arteries. Methods:...

CongenItal Anomallous Origin of Left Anterior Descending Artery from RIight Coronary Artery

​Congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries have been a known subject  since the advent of cardiac angiography, and has been a subject of special interest by both cardiologists and cardiac surgeons,  We have tried in this article to present a case of anomalous origin of LAD from RCA (RMT) in a 55 year old lady (Mrs. B.J.) and to completely dis­cuss this subject. It's worthmentioning that thi...

Super dominant left anterior descending artery with origin of both posterior descending artery and posterior left ventricular artery from septal branch.

To cite: Patra S, BC S, Agrawal N, et al. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013010303 DESCRIPTION The posterior descending artery (PDA) arises from the right coronary artery (RCA) in approximately 85% of people in right dominant circulation. Whereas only in 10–15% of cases, it arises from the circumflex artery (LCX) or from both RCA and LCX. Rarely ...
