Aberrant Course of the Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery Associated with Anomalous Left
نویسنده
چکیده
We have presented a two year nonoperative follow-up of an asymptomatic 14-year-old girl with an unusual anomaly of the coronary arteries. Systolic and diastolic murmurs heard preoperatively did not change following severance of a patent ductus arteriosus. Postoperative selective coronary arteriography revealed (1) anomalous origin of the left anterior descending artery from the right aortic sinus of Valsalva crossing between the aorta and pulmonary artery, (2) aberrant circumflex artery origin from the pulmonary artery and (3) collaterals from the left anterior descending and right coronary arteries to the circumflex artery. This combination of coronary anomalies has never been described previously.

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...

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation. We report three cases of ALCAPA who survived to adulthood. The first case was a 51-year-old woman who complained of typical chest pain that was diagnosed with ALCAPA using cardiac catheterization and coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA). The second case was a 30-...
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:...
