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...

​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...

Congenital anomalies and within them anatomical variations of coronary arteries, although uncommon, are being increasingly studied diagnosed due to the close relationship symptoms such as angina, dyspnea, syncope or arrhythmias in young people without comorbidities. This study aimed present case report a patient with ischemic secondary malformation artery. We describe moment admission, diagnosi...

A 46-year-old female was referred for evaluation of central chest pain unrelated to exertion. She was known to have diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidaemia. Physical examination, routine blood investigations, electrocardiogram and chest radiograph were unremarkable. Stress myocardial perfusion imaging demonstrated normal perfusion of the left ventricle (LV) with no ischaemia detected...

A 76-year-old woman underwent coronary angiography for chest pain. On the coronary angiogram, no significant coronary artery atherosclerotic stenosis was observed. Multiple coronary artery microfistulas, draining from the left anterior descending artery to the left ventricle and from the posterior descending artery of the right coronary artery to the left ventricle, were observed. Apical wall t...

In this study we attempted to examine the extent of jeopardised myocardium in patients with severe left anterior descending disease. The jeopardised myocardium was defined by the number of perfusion defects in the distribution of the left anterior descending artery depicted on exercise thallium201 images. One segment in each of the three projections was considered to represent the distribution ...

Figure 1: (A) Angiographic left anterior oblique view showing the anterior descending artery originating from the sinus node artery (SNA), between the aorta and the superior vena cava. (B) Right anterior oblique view. In contrast to the classical anomalous origin from the right coronary artery, where the anterior descending artery crosses de infundibulum anteriorly, in this case the anterior de...
