​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...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It has been demonstrated that the anomalous origin of coronary arteries (AOCA) are generally asymptomatic and rare diseases. However, some cases can cause severe life threatening events. To detect these anomalies, coronary angiographies and autopsies were used to detect coronary artery anomalies, but these procedures have limitations because of their invasiveness. The ...

AIMS To examine the impact of sex on restenosis in a large cohort of consecutive patients undergoing coronary stenting and systematic angiographic and clinical follow-up. METHODS AND RESULTS The study includes a cohort of 4374 consecutive patients (1025 women and 3349 men), undergoing coronary stenting for stable or unstable angina. Follow-up angiography at 6 months was performed in 80% of pa...

BACKGROUND Detection of coronary artery is important when considering surgical treatment of a congenital heart disease (CHD) such as tetralogy of Fallot (TF). Cardiac catheterization plays an important supplementary role in the evaluation of patients with CHD. In a few reports, it has been proposed that multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) can be helpful for the visualization of coronary ar...

OBJECTIVE To assess long term results of coronary stent implantation in patients with symptomatic myocardial bridging. METHODS Intracoronary stent implantation was performed within the intramural course of the left anterior descending coronary artery in 11 patients with objective signs of myocardial ischaemia and absence of other cardiac disorders. All had myocardial bridging of the central p...

BACKGROUND Delays are important markers of quality of care in primary percutaneous coronary intervention. There is scarce data on the impact of obtaining a complete diagnostic angiography before primary percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention at our institution between January 2012 and December 2014 w...

This is a case report of an unusual case of a patient with dextrocardia and "situs inversus totalis" who presented with unstable angina. Coronary angiography revealed severe main stem and severe triple vessel coronary artery disease. The patient later underwent successful emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery. To the authors' knowledge this is the first reported case in Malaysia and al...

PURPOSE To prospectively determine the accuracy of 64-section computed tomographic (CT) angiography for the depiction of coronary artery disease (CAD) that induces perfusion defects at myocardial perfusion imaging with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), by using myocardial perfusion imaging as the reference standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients gave written informed co...

Computed tomography (CT) angiography can augment conventional coronary angiography relative to length of vessel occlusion and quality of distal run-off. In this case report we describe the significance of CT angiography in the revascularization decision-making process of a patient following occlusion of both coronary artery bypass grafts.
