Unexpected Dual Left Anterior Descending Artery as a Source of Percutaneous Coronary Revascularization Failure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dual left anterior descending artery (LAD) is rare. A 61-year-old patient was referred because of angina and a positive stress test. Coronary angiography revealed a short LAD originating from the left main coronary artery. Computed tomography showed a long LAD originating above the right coronary artery sinus.

Hybrid coronary revascularization intends to combine the durability and survival advantage of the left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending coronary artery graft by a minimally invasive surgical procedure and the interventional therapy for non-left anterior descending coronary artery vessels to achieve complete revascularization. It provides a feasible and attractive alternative ...
