Recanalization of an atretic left internal mammary graft after bypass surgery for an anomalous left main coronary artery origin: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundThe inter-arterial anomalous course of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) originating from the right coronary sinus of Valsalva is a rare, though potentially lethal pathology. Coronary artery bypass grafting is a potential surgical therapy with previously reported success, however, there is concern for the possibility of graft occlusion in the setting of competitive native vessel flow.Case summaryA 48-year-old gentleman presented to our facility with a non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome. A malignant anomalous course of the LMCA was confirmed using invasive coronary angiography and computed tomography (CT). The patient underwent surgical revascularization of the left anterior descending artery with a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft, which was found to be atretic on follow-up CT. Seven years later the patient underwent repeat CT imaging, which confirmed recanalization of the previously atretic LIMA.DiscussionWe present the first documented case of a patient with spontaneous recanalization of an occluded LIMA following bypass surgery for an inter-arterial anomalous course of the LMCA. We postulate that the dynamic obstruction of the anomalous LMCA led to variable flow dependence on the bypass graft and subsequent atresia of the LIMA, due to the favourable native flow conditions in the absence of significant obstructive coronary disease. The exact mechanism of LIMA recanalization remains unclear, but in our case may have been partly mediated by a small increase in left main plaque.

Setting things “right”: right internal mammary artery on anomalous right coronary artery - a case report

Project description:Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is a rare pathology that may cause episodic ischemia owing to possible vessel compression during systolic expansion of the aortic root. This anomaly can lead to myocardial infarction, malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Several surgical techniques have been described; however, there are no defined guidelines regarding the treatment of AAOCA. We report the case of a 47-year-old woman with ectopic origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the left sinus of Valsalva, with an interarterial course of the proximal segment of the artery, running between the aorta and the pulmonary trunk. Revascularization was accomplished by harvesting the right internal mammary artery (RIMA) and anastomosing it to the anomalous RCA, given the small portion of the RCA following an intramural course and our familiarity with the procedure. The RCA was ligated proximal to the anastomosis to avoid the string sign phenomenon. This procedure is safe and fast and can be considered an alternative to coronary reconstruction.

Anomalous left internal mammary artery arising from an aberrant artery of the aorta in a patient with "pseudo bovine" aortic arch anatomy.

Project description:Many different aortic arch variants have been documented before. Pseudo bovine arch is the most common variant of the aortic arch. Pseudo bovine arch with other factors such as stenosis and calcification impose great difficulties even for experienced cardiologists. Knowledge of anatomical variants is useful information for interventional cardiologist, radiologist, and thoracic surgeons. Left vertebral artery left internal mammary artery (LIMA) alterations have been published a few times before, but here we present a first case to our knowledge with LIMA arising from an aberrant arterial branch of the aorta in a patient with a pseudo bovine aortic arch anatomy. <Learning objective: Variations of the aortic arch are due to alteration in the development of branchial arch arteries during embryonic period. Learn about left internal mammary artery arising from an aberrant arterial branch of the aorta in a patient with a pseudo bovine aortic arch anatomy.>.

Heart Team Intervention for Calcified Left Main Coronary Disease and Jeopardized Left Internal Mammary Artery Graft.

Project description:It is sometimes difficult to identify the culprit lesion and treatment strategy in patients with acute coronary syndrome who have complex coronary lesions and jeopardized left internal mammary artery graft. This report describes a heart team approach for a non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction case with complex coronary vasculature. A 73-year-old man presented to the emergency department with crescendo angina. He had a history of total aortic arch replacement with concomitant coronary artery bypass graft using left internal mammary artery. Emergent coronary angiography demonstrated severe stenosis at left main trunk bifurcation caused by calcified nodule. While the bypass graft to left anterior descending coronary artery was patent, the proximal segment of left subclavian artery was occluded. Following the prompt discussion with our heart team, we performed percutaneous coronary intervention in the first step for treating the left main stenosis using rotational atherectomy into the unprotected left circumflex artery. After clinical recovery, stress myocardial scintigraphy identified the presence of anteroseptal ischemia, which indicated coronary subclavian steal syndrome due to left subclavian artery occlusion. Contrast-enhanced CT visualized that the occlusion originated from the anastomosis, suggesting the potential procedural risk of endovascular treatment by dilatation. Our heart team discussed again and decided to undergo axillo-axillary artery bypass surgery. He was discharged 8 days after the surgery without any sequelae. This is the rare case report of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who had similar condition to coronary subclavian steal syndrome after total aortic arch replacement. This case highlights the importance of a collaborative approach of the heart team to identify the best therapeutic strategy in a patient with complex coronary vasculature.
