    Congenital Atresia of the Ostium of Left Main Coronary Artery: A Rare Coronary Anomaly, Diagnostic Difficulty and Successful Surgical Revascularization

    CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE, Issue 5 2007
    Philip Varghese MRCS
    ABSTRACT We report the case of an 8-month-old infant who was referred for mechanical circulatory support (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation). Aortogram was compatible with the diagnosis of anomalous origin of left coronary artery to pulmonary trunk. A definitive diagnosis of atresia of the left coronary ostium was only established intraoperatively. Patient underwent successful surgical angioplasty with an autologous pericardial patch. [source]

    Identifying the course of an anomalous left coronary artery using contrast-enhanced electron beam tomography and three-dimensional reconstruction

    CATHETERIZATION AND CARDIOVASCULAR INTERVENTIONS, Issue 4 2002
    Alexander Sevrukov MD
    Abstract Coronary anomalies are a rare but recognized cause of myocardial ischemia and sudden death. Until recently, invasive coronary arteriography was the diagnostic method of choice. However, contrast-enhanced electron beam tomography has the advantage of three-dimensional visualization of anomalous coronary arteries. We describe a case of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2002;57:532,536. © 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source]

    The coronary arteries of the C57BL/6 mouse strains: implications for comparison with mutant models

    JOURNAL OF ANATOMY, Issue 1 2008
    B. Fernández
    Abstract There are few detailed descriptions of the coronary arterial patterns in the mouse. Some recent reports on coronary anomalies in mutant mouse models have uncovered the importance of several genes (i.e. iv and connexin43) in coronary morphogenesis. These mutations spontaneously appeared (iv) or were generated (connexin43) in a C57BL/6 background, which is widely used for the development of mutant mice. We have studied the origin and course of the main coronary arteries of two C57BL/6 mouse strains. Unusual anatomical coronary arterial patterns were found, including: solitary ostium in aorta, accessory ostium, high take-off, aortic intramural course, slit-like ostium, sinus-like ostium and origin of a septal artery from the left coronary artery. In humans, some of these conditions are clinically relevant. Most of these patterns, which differ from those observed in wild mice and Swiss albino mice, coincide with those previously found in iv/iv and connexin43 knockout mice. The results indicate that there is variability in the coronary arterial arrangement of the laboratory mouse. Care should be taken when analysing coronary phenotypes of mutant mouse models. [source]

    Is the left anterior descending artery really absent?,A decisive input from coronary CT angiography,

    CATHETERIZATION AND CARDIOVASCULAR INTERVENTIONS, Issue 1 2010
    Yalcin Hacioglu MD
    Abstract This case report emphasizes the importance of coronary CT angiography (CTA) as a backup imaging modality in patients with suspected coronary anomalies and difficult canulation, during invasive coronary angiography by catheterization (Cath). In this patient, the numerous canulation attempts during Cath failed to identify a left anterior descending artery (LAD) leading to the diagnosis of absent LAD. CTA was done for further clarification, which easily visualized LAD originating from a separate ostium at the left sinus of Valsalva finalizing the diagnosis as absent left main artery with dual left coronary ostia. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Respiratory Syncytial Viral Infection in an Infant with Unrepaired Anomalous Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery

    CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE, Issue 4 2007
    Karen McClard MD
    ABSTRACT Abnormal origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare coronary anomaly in children that requires necessary and urgent repair. We report a child who was hospitalized with respiratory failure due respiratory syncytial viral (RSV) infection and was subsequently diagnosed with ALCAPA. Aggressive treatment for RSV included synagis and nebulized ribavirin prior to surgical repair. After waiting 4 weeks for the RSV infection to resolve, she underwent successful left coronary artery reimplantation on hospital day 27 and has regained normal left ventricular size and function.
