Abstract:

Myocardial bridge is a benign congenital anomaly in which a segment of major epicardial coronary arteries descends into the myocardium for a variable distance. Myocardial bridge is most often single and located in the middle part of the left anterior descending artery. The presence of more than one myocardial bridge in coronary arteries is very rare. We present a patient with more than one myocardial bridge in the left anterior descending artery. The case was a 55- year old man, referred to our clinic with the complaint of atypical chest pain. In the radionucloid study a reversible ischemia in the anterior wall was found. For this abnormal finding, he underwent a coronary angiography and it showed two myocardial bridges in the mid and end segments of the left anterior descending artery. Since myocardial bridge is usually single, the present case with two consecutive myocardial bridges in one artery can be presented as a very rare case report

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 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...

Break into left anterior descending coronary artery suggest myocardial bridging.

A 67 year-old woman presented with stable effort angina. A resting electrocardiogram was inconclusive. High-dose dipyridamole contrast-echocardiography shows normal left ventricular wall motion after 0.84mg/kg/6min dipyridamole. At rest a turbolent flow demonstrable by color aliasing, appeared in the territory of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) during the diastolic phase.

Left anterior descending artery arising as a terminal extension of posterior descending artery (a rare coronary artery anomaly).

Several types of left anterior descending artery anomalies have been detected. In these anomalies, left anterior descending artery usually originates from the right coronary artery or right sinus of Valsalva. A case of left anterior descending artery arising as a terminal extension of posterior descending artery presented. This anomaly seems rather rare.
