Single Coronary Artery with Right Ventricular Fistula: Case Report and Literature Review

CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE, Issue 1 2010
Yoichiro Ishii MD
ABSTRACT We report a rare case of a 6-year-old boy who was diagnosed with coronary artery fistulae communicating with the right ventricle and a left single coronary artery. Preoperative angiography showed a dilated and tortuous single coronary artery draining into the right ventricle. Two coronary artery fistulae draining into the right ventricle were detected at operation and both of these were ligated. Postoperative angiography showed that the single coronary artery diameter was almost normalized, although the vessel was still slightly tortuous. His clinical course was uneventful. In this report, we summarize cases of coronary artery fistula with single coronary artery that have been reported in the literature as well as our case. [source]

Single Coronary Artery: Right Coronary Artery Originated From Middle of Left Anterior Descending Artery in a Patient With Severe Mitral Regurgitation

CLINICAL CARDIOLOGY, Issue 4 2010
Murat Meric MD
The single coronary artery is a benign and very rare coronary artery abnormality. Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery originating from the left anterior descending artery has been reported previously in just a few cases. In this article, we presented a patient with an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the midportion of the left anterior descending artery. The anomalous coronary artery was discovered incidentally during a coronary angiography performed prior to mitral valve surgery. Copyright © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [source]
