Myocardial ischaemia may result from congenital abnormalities in the origin or distribution of the coronary arteries. Coronary obstruction may also develop at a young age in some rare hereditary disorders such as Hurler's syndrome, homocystinuria or pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The coronary arteries may be the site of embolism; ostial stenosis may complicate luetic (or other) aortitis or coronary ...

Objective This study evaluated clinical and diagnostic findings, treatment methods, and follow-up of cases of anomalous coronary arteries from the pulmonary artery. Methods The study included all cases diagnosed with anomalous coronary arteries from the pulmonary artery between January 2012 and January 2016. Data from patients' demographic characteristics, electrocardiography, echocardiograph...

Coronary artery anomalies are a rare type of congenital anomalies with an incidence of 1.3% during routine cardiac catheterization. Anomalous origin of the coronary arteries is considered an incidental finding without clinical significance. This case describes a patient in whom evaluation of chest pain revealed an obstructive left anterior descending artery as well as an anomalous right coronar...

Chronic total occlusion of an anomalous right coronary artery arising from left coronary sinus is uncommon. We are describing a case of a 71 years old patient presented with severe chest pain along with exertional dyspnea with an inferior wall myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography showed anomalous right coronary artery originating from left coronary sinus having chronic total occlusion in...

Coronary bypass graft has been the conventional treatment of choice in anomalous left man coronary artery stenosis. We are reporting an interesting case with anomalous left main coronary artery originating from right aortic sinus having retroaortic course complicated by significant atherosclerotic narrowing of the vessel and its percutaneous management.

A 61 year-old-man on treatment for type II diabetes mellitus presented to the emergency with rest angina. Electrocardiogram and troponin T were suggestive of an acute inferior wall myocardial infarction and the patient was taken up for primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) immediately. When the ostium of the left coronary artery couldn't be located on angiogram, aortography was done and revea...

Myocardial infarction and left ventricular failure developed within hours of ligation of a large arterial duct in a four week old infant. Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery was confirmed by echocardiography. Despite emergency translocation of the anomalous coronary artery the patient died.

INTRODUCTION Coronary artery anomalies are found in 0.6% to 1.55% of patients who undergo coronary angiography, and the increasing use of diagnostic coronary angiography is uncovering even more such abnormalities. We present a very unusual case of an anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery (LCx) from the proximal right coronary artery (RCA). CASE PRESENTATION We present a case...

A 13 year old girl with recurrent ventricular tachycardia that occurred in association with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is described. Such an arrhythmia has not been described before. Ligation of the anomalous left coronary artery led to more frequent episodes of ventricular tachycardia with evidence of myocardial ischaemia. She was successfully manage...
