Thrombosis in the Surgically Corrected Anomalous Right Coronary Artery after Reimplantation in Aorta.

ABSTRACT: A 32-year-old African American female presented with dyspnea, and after several cardiac diagnostic tests, the diagnosis of an anomalous origin of the RCA from the pulmonary trunk was established by multislice coronary CT angiography. She underwent surgical correction with reimplantation of the RCA, from the pulmonary artery to the aortic root. However, 10 days after surgery, she developed frequent episodes of chest pain, and repeat coronary CTA showed a partially occlusive thrombus in the surgically reimplanted RCA. Anticoagulation with warfarin resulted in complete resolution of the patient's symptoms.

Anomalous Left Main Coronary Artery: Not Always a Simple Surgical Reimplantation.

Project description:We present the case of 56-year-old woman who required complex coronary artery bypass grafting for high-risk anomalous left main coronary artery (LMCA) originating from right coronary cusp including conventional reimplantation of the LMCA plus left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft to the left anterior descending (LAD) and saphenous vein graft (SVG) to the left circumflex (LCx). On subsequent cardiac computed tomography screening and cardiac catheterization, the LIMA graft was occluded after just a few centimeters, but the SVG graft was patent with good run-off into the native LCx and also filled the LAD retrogradely. The reimplanted left main stem demonstrated at least moderate ostial stenosis although pressure wire assessment of this was not significant (fractional flow reserve 0.89), probably due to good retrograde filling of the LAD from the SVG to LCx, therefore, we did not proceed with ostial LMCA stenting. She remains on yearly review with a low threshold for further revascularization should the SVG to LCx develop progressive stenosis. This case illustrates how patients with anomalous LMCA may sometimes benefit from grafting in addition to conventional reimplantation.

Long-term positive remodeling of the right coronary artery after reimplantation from the pulmonary artery to the ascending aorta.

Project description:A 53-year-old woman, nonsmoking patient, with a history of surgically corrected anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery 17 years prior to admission, presented to our department complaining of mild, left-sided exertional chest pain for the past 3 months. She underwent a computed tomography examination of the heart and coronary angiography revealing postsurgical changes to the coronary vasculature and severe stenosis of the left circumflex artery, which was successfully treated by percutaneous stent implantation.

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.

Fetal Isolated Anomalous Origin of Right Pulmonary Artery from Aorta.

Project description:The anomalous origin of a branch pulmonary artery from the aorta (AOPA) is characterized by the anomalous origin of one of the branch pulmonary arteries (PA) from the ascending aorta and a normal origin of the other PA from main PA. AOPA is an extremely rare cardiac malformation. Few studies have reported fetal anomalous origin of PA from aorta with other malformation. We report a case of isolated distal anomalous origin of the right PA from the aorta that was diagnosed by fetal echocardiography at 25 weeks' of gestation. Tracing the course of PA branches is important to make diagnosis.

Anomalous right coronary artery originating from the mid left anterior descending artery.

Project description:A 68-year-old male with a history of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia presented with recurrent episodes of chest discomfort. A 12-lead ECG and an echocardiogram were normal. A myocardial perfusion study could not rule out ischemia in the inferior wall. At coronary angiography using the transradial approach, the right coronary artery (RCA) could not be visualized. Angiography of the left coronary system demonstrated non-obstructive atherosclerosis involving the mid segment of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and a normal circumflex (Cx) artery. The RCA originated from the mid LAD segment distal to the first septal perforator and the first diagonal branch and was free of atherosclerosis disease. A contrast-enhanced 64-slice multi-detector cardiac computed tomography showed that the LAD was severely calcified in the proximal part, and the RCA coursed anterior to the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) to reach the right atrioventricular groove. The patient was managed medically and became asymptomatic.

Coronary computed tomography angiography assessment of relationship between right coronary artery-aorta angle and the development of coronary artery disease.

Project description:Whilst a correlation has been established between wide left main coronary artery bifurcation [left anterior descending-left circumflex (LAD-LCx)] angle (>80°) and the development of coronary artery disease (CAD), this retrospective, causal-comparative pilot study aimed to explore whether a relationship exists between right coronary artery (RCA)-aorta angle and CAD. Thirty normal cases were identified via radiology reports and selected as the control group with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) scans performed on a 320-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner. Thirty CAD cases were selected with invasive coronary angiography performed to confirm the degree of stenosis, and CCTA performed on dual source and 320-slice CT scanners. An independent sample t-test was used to compare the differences in coronary angles between the normal and CAD group, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess for significant differences between coronary angles in normal and CAD subgroups. Coronary angle measurements were conducted by two independent assessors with high intraclass correlation (r=0.971-0.998, P<0.001). RCA-aorta angle measurements were significantly larger in the normal group [87.47°, 95% confidence interval (CI): 79.31° to 95.78°] compared to the CAD group (76.82°, 95% CI: 67.82° to 85.61°, P=0.05). No significant difference was found between RCA-aorta angle and degree of coronary stenosis (P=0.75). This study suggests a relationship between narrow RCA-aorta angle and CAD.
