An Extremely Rare Coronary Variation: Direct Communication between the Circumflex and Right Coronary Arteries.

ABSTRACT: Coronary collateral circulation frequently develops in the presence of obstructive coronary lesions as an alternative source of blood supply. We present a case of rare direct communication between the circumflex and right coronary arteries in a 30-year-old male with continuity between the distal segments of the circumflex and right coronary artery and no coronary artery stenoses. Direct intercoronary connections may be seen in the absence of an occlusive coronary lesion, as a remnant of the fetal circulation in adult life. We present this case to increase awareness of this rare coronary variation and its clinical implications.

Absence of Left Circumflex Artery: A Rare Congenital Disorder of Coronary Arteries.

Project description:Congenital absence of left circumflex artery is a rare occurrence and very few cases have been reported in literature. It is a benign incidental finding; however some patients present with sudden onset chest pain mimicking acute coronary syndrome often resulting in detection of this rare anatomy on coronary angiography. Coronary computed tomography angiography is a relatively new noninvasive imaging modality which can be used to confirm this suspicion and diagnose this unique morphology reliably.

Absence of left circumflex with superdominant right coronary artery.

Project description:Congenital anomalies of coronary arteries are a group of diseases that are infrequently found. Their prevalence has been reported from 0.6% to 1.3%. Most clinical manifestations are benign and asymptomatic. Congenital absence of the left circumflex artery is a very rare congenital anomaly of the coronary circulation, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of a 51-year-old man who underwent a cardiac catheterisation. Coronary angiography showed a left anterior descending coronary artery with no circumflex and a dominant right coronary artery.

Rare Copy Number Variation in Extremely Impulsively Violent Males

Project description:The Illumina Human Omni2.5 array is a high resolution microarray platform for studying copy number variations in the human genome. It is widely being used in both clinical and research settings for identifying causative variants as well as interrogating the genome for benign variants. We employed this platform to investigate the risk factor CNVs in 281 individuals diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Septic embolization of left and right coronary arteries resulting in sudden death: A rare complication of infective endocarditis.

Project description:Bacterial endocarditis gives rise to a variety of complications due to local tissue damage, immunological phenomena, and embolic phenomena. Only a small number of cases of coronary embolization have been reported in infective endocarditis patients. This is a case of subacute bacterial endocarditis in a postpartum mother complicated by fatal left and right coronary artery embolization. A 32-year-old postpartum mother with a history of rheumatic heart disease presented with a history of fever, shortness of breath, and bilateral ankle edema for 1-week duration. On admission, the patient was alert, febrile with a pulse rate of 90 beats/min, blood pressure 105/70 mmHg, and her lungs were clear. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed vegetations attached to both mitral and aortic valves. She was started on intravenous antibiotics. Her fever was settled and during the following 2 weeks she was clinically improving with settling inflammatory markers. On the 20th day of the illness, the patient developed sudden onset of chest pain, dyspnea with sinus bradycardia, and later developed pulseless electric activity. She expired despite intense cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Postmortem revealed multiple vegetations in both mitral and aortic valves and complete occlusion of both left and right coronary ostia by embolized vegetative materials. <Learning objective: Subacute bacterial endocarditis with large and mobile vegetations can give rise to embolization. Although most of them cause peripheral embolization, there is a possibility of fatal coronary embolization. This case highlights the importance of early surgical intervention in bacterial endocarditis with large, multiple, and mobile vegetations even though the patient is responding to the antibiotics.>.

Right Atrial Paraganglioma: An Extremely Rare Primary Cardiac Neoplasm Mimicking Myxoma.

Project description:In this report, we present a case of 35-year-old lady who had presented with atypical chest pain and exertional breathlessness for past six months. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograms showed a well-circumscribed, echo-dense mass in the right atrium, attached to the interatrial septum at the level of atrioventricular junction and in the vicinity of coronary sinus ostium. She underwent successful resection of the cardiac mass. Histopathology revealed paraganglioma, which was reconfirmed by immunohistochemistry study. This represents an extremely rare presentation as primary cardiac tumors are 20-times less common than metastatic tumors and paraganglioma is one of the rarest primary cardiac tumors, accounting for < 1% of all cases.

Large sub-mitral aneurysm compressing the left circumflex coronary artery presenting with atypical chest pain - Rare presentation.

Project description:Sub-mitral aneurysm (SMA) is a rare cardiac malformation commonly reported in young adults of African ancestry. SMA is considered a congenital disease caused by developmental defect due to weakness at the atrioventricular junction near the posterior mitral annulus. In the past two decades, a considerable number of cases regarding this rare disease have been reported in Asians, highlighting the importance of considering SMA in differential diagnosis of young patients presenting with mitral regurgitation and chest pain. Herein, we report the case of a young male with atypical chest pain with compression of left circumflex coronary artery by a large SMA. <Learning objective: Sub-mitral aneurysm is a rare cardiac malformation, caused by developmental defect due to weakness at the atrioventricular junction near the posterior mitral annulus. Patients may be entirely asymptomatic, or they can present with mitral regurgitation with or without left ventricular dysfunction, heart failure, systemic thromboembolism, ventricular wall rupture causing tamponade, myocardial ischemia due to compression of coronary arteries, ventricular arrhythmias, or sometimes sudden cardiac death. Strong suspicion and early diagnosis followed by surgery can prevent sudden cardiac death.>.

Case Report: Rare percutaneous coronary intervention for "right" main bifurcation.

Project description:We presented the case of a patient with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction with coronary arteries of an anomalous origin, an interarterial course of the LMCA, a unique wide-angle "right" main bifurcation lesion, and a high SYNTAX score. Management with contemporary PCI and imaging may be an alternative to surgery.

Right Atrial Myxoma with Coexistent Coronary Artery Disease - A Rare Combination.

Project description:Atrial myxomas are the most common primary heart tumors. Two-dimensional echocardiography is the diagnostic procedure of choice. The majority of myxomas are located in the left atrium. Myxoma in the right atrium is an uncommon location. The co-occurrence of right atrial myxoma with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) is uncommon. In our case, right atrial myxoma was associated with CAD, which makes it a unique case because very few cases of right atrial myxoma coexistent with CAD are described in literature.
