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...
متن کاملAssociation 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:...
متن کاملSequential left internal mammary artery usage for complex left anterior descending coronary artery revascularization.
We read with great interest the article by Gucu et al. that is in concern with surgical treatment of the multiple complex stenoses in left anterior descending coronary artery [1]. We congratulate the authors for their good results in such a challenging problem. The primary aim of every cardiac surgeon in concern with coronary artery bypass grafting is complete revascularization with proven good...
متن کاملAvoiding tension in left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending coronary artery anastomosis during coronary artery bypass graft surgery
BACKGROUND The left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) graft is the most important graft in coronary artery bypass graft surgery.1 The length of the LIMA is fixed and situations may arise when this is inadequate.2 This may not be apparent during the cardiopulmonary bypass until after the anastomosis has been performed and the lungs re-expanded. We d...
متن کاملIsolated left anterior descending coronary artery disease: percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty versus stenting versus left internal mammary artery bypass grafting.
BACKGROUND Single-vessel coronary artery disease is usually treated with PTCA; however, this approach when applied to the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) is hampered by high restenosis rates, often approaching 50%. Coronary stenting (STENT) and left internal mammary artery bypass grafting of the LAD (LIMA-LAD) are other options that have been successfully used for single-vessel L...
