Incidental Anomalous Left Coronary Artery in a Transplanted Heart.

ABSTRACT: Anomalous coronary artery is an uncommon congenital cardiac anomaly that is often detected incidentally on coronary angiography. It has rarely been reported in the donor heart of patients who have undergone cardiac transplantation. Here, we report a case of a 72-year-old patient who received a second heart transplant and has been identified to have an anomalous left main coronary artery originating from the right coronary sinus on postoperative coronary angiography.

Incidental Finding of the Anomalous Origin of Left Main Coronary Artery from Pulmonary Artery in an Adult Presenting with Arrhythmia-Induced Myocardial Ischemia.

Project description:Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital coronary anomaly with high mortality. It is associated with cardiovascular complications and is usually diagnosed soon after birth. Those who survive into adulthood can present with signs of myocardial infarction, heart failure, mitral regurgitation, severe pulmonary hypertension, or sudden cardiac death. We present a 53-year-old female presenting with atrial fibrillation and found to have an incidental diagnosis of ALCAPA who refused surgical correction. We also review the epidemiology, diagnosis, age-based clinical presentations, and treatment options for ALCAPA.

Left ventricular thrombus formation after repair of anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.

Project description:Although thrombus formation following myocardial infarction in adults is well known, intracardiac thrombosis in children is uncommon. We report the case of a large left ventricular thrombus in an infant with ischemic cardiomyopathy secondary to anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. Given its mobility and protrusion across the aortic valve, the patient underwent urgent thrombus removal through a transaortic approach. There were no embolic or neurologic complications. This case highlights that thrombectomy may be performed safely and successfully in critically ill pediatric patients.

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.

Anomalous left anterior descending artery from pulmonary artery: an extremely rare coronary anomaly.

Project description:We report a rare coronary artery anomaly-anomalous origin of the left anterior descending artery from the pulmonary artery in a 40-year-old woman. The uniqueness of this case is the absence of any significant morbidity from this condition in adulthood which is in contrast to other reported cases where patients present with myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and sometimes death during the early infantile period.(1).

Anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery associated with pulmonary hypertension.

Project description:This is a report on a 10-year-old child with anomalous origin of left coronary artery (LCA) from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), severe pulmonary hypertension (PH), old myocardial infarction and poor intercoronary collateralization. It discusses the echocardiographic pitfalls in this particular setting and introduces a new echocardiographic view (posterior pulmonary cusp view) for visualization of the anomalous origin of LCA from the posterior pulmonary cusp (PC) in patients with ALCAPA from the PC of the pulmonary artery. We describe three echocardiographic pitfalls that can mislead the echocardiographer and two helpful hints that guide the clinician to the correct diagnosis. The survival of this child shows that limited size of left ventricular myocardial infarction and severe mitral regurgitation in early infancy can result in a life-saving pulmonary hypertension which preserves viability and function of left ventricle despite lack of intercoronary collateral arteries. After one year follow-up, she is doing well on medical treatment.

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.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for the Anomalous Left Coronary Artery Originating from the Noncoronary Cusp.

Project description:Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for anomalous left coronary artery (LCA) originating from the noncoronary cusp (NCC) is challenging, as it poses difficulties with the engagement of the guiding catheter and the establishment of backup support. This report examines the case of a 69-year-old woman with unstable angina of anomalous LCA origin. The computed tomography showed a diffuse plaque in the middle of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and an anomalous LCA originating from the NCC. After successful engagement of a straightened Judkins-Left diagnostic catheter, the angiography revealed a diffuse plaque in the middle of the LAD artery. We then engaged a Judkins-Right guiding catheter. Due to the weak backup support of the guiding catheter, we used another wire to stabilize it, and the stent was then implanted successfully. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of PCI for an anomalous LCA originating from the NCC.

Sudden cardiac arrest: associated with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left main coronary artery.

Project description:Anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the opposite sinus of Valsalva and a course of that artery between the ascending aorta and the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital anomaly. It can cause myocardial ischemia, syncope, and sudden cardiac death in young people. Herein, we report the case of a 24-year-old man who was brought to our hospital after cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation. Emergent coronary angiography revealed that the left coronary artery was normal; however, the right coronary artery originated at the left sinus of Valsalva. After admission, the patient was treated with mild therapeutic hypothermia for 48 hours and had a favorable neurologic recovery. Subsequent 16-slice multidetector computed tomography revealed that the right coronary artery arose from the left main coronary artery, took an intramural course, and was severely compressed between the ascending aorta and the pulmonary artery. The patient underwent direct implantation of the anomalous artery into the correct aortic sinus. Histologic specimens from the proximal end of the right coronary artery showed an intramural segment with intimal fibrous thickening, fragmentation and random arrangement of the elastic fiber, degeneration of the medial smooth-muscle cells, and an increase in the medial stromal substance. Postoperatively, repeat coronary angiography with provocation testing for coronary spasm revealed no myocardial ischemic change. The patient recovered uneventfully. We found that cardiac multidetector computed tomography was useful in evaluating the cause of the sudden cardiac arrest, identifying the anomalous coronary artery, and helping to guide the surgical decisions.
