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 کاملConsideration of the Necessity of Prophylactic Bypass Grafting for Anomalous Origin of the Right Coronary Artery—Based on a Case with Concomitant Left Main Trunk Disease Resuscitated from Cardiopulmonary Arrest
Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery is a rare congenital anomaly, but is associated with sudden death. Originating from the opposite sinus of Valsalva, an interarterial course and an intramural course are especially considered as the risk factor for fatal cardiac events. Surgical indication remains controversial because many patients are asymptomatic. A 52-year-old man with anomalous ...
متن کاملPatch repair of anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the anterior aortic sinus.
Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the anterior aortic sinus is a rare but potentially lethal congenital disease. We report two adolescent patients with this anomaly who underwent surgical plasty using a saphenous vein patch, rather than unroofing or fenestration technique, as was typically done. This report suggests that surgical angioplasty can be performed safely and effe...

Congenital absence of left circumflex artery is a rare congenital anomaly of the coronary arteries. The prevalence of the anomaly in different studies ranges from 0.6% to 1.3%. Of these, 80% are benign and asymptomatic and 20% are clinically important. We report a 56-year-old man presented with acute resting chest pain who was diagnosed as having acute anterolateral infarction accompanied by el...
