Percutaneous coronary intervention for unprotected left main coronary artery disease is potentially an important intervention in surgically unstable patients. A detailed review of medical record and visual analysis of coronary angiography and PCI procedure was undertaken. The study was conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, from January 2003 to December 2007. Patients included in the st...

Fifty-six patients with severe stenosis of the left main coronary artery underwent coronary bypass surgery between January 1970 and December 1971. All patients had angina pectoris. Seventy-five per cent of the patients had an unstable anginal pattern. There were six perioperative deaths for a surgical mortality of 10.7%. Of the 50 patients surviving surgery, 96% are alive from 12 to 36 months p...

Objective: Coronary angiography data included in the analysis of operative mortality after coronary artery surgery are generally limited to left main coronary artery stenosis and classi®cation into one-, twoor three-vessel disease, but the role of stenoses and quality of distal runoff on each main coronary artery have never been analysed. The aim of this study was to assess the in ̄uence of coro...

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...

m U b w d i ( d S d i c s i p l s ( he left main coronary artery’s critical importance o coronary circulation has focused attention on his specific anatomical subgroup for decades. In he early 1970s, coronary artery bypass graft CABG) was found to improve late survival in atients with significant left main stenosis in comarison with medical therapy (1–3). Once CABG ecame the standard of care fo...

Both of congenital giant RCA, RCA to PA fistula, and CLMCA-A are one of exceedingly rare vascular abnormalities. We present the case of a 34-year-old man with multiple congenital coronary anomalies above, and a successful surgical intervention was proceeded for our patient.This is a case of a 34-year-old man presented with apical systolic murmur and exertional chest pain. Furthermore, a dilated...

Anomalous origin of left main coronary artery or right coronary artery from the aorta with subsequent coursing between the aorta and pulmonary trunk is rare and can be sometimes life threatening. After hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, coronary artery anomalies are the second most common cause of sudden cardiac deaths among young athletes. This is a case presentation of an anomalous origin of right ...
