This report describes an extremely rare case of an aorto-right ventricular tunnel originating from the left coronary sinus with abnormality of left coronary artery in the 11-year-old child.
We describe a case of guiding catheter induced dissection of left main coronary artery and ascending aorta. A patient with unstable angina and two-vessel disease underwent drug eluting stents implantation in proximal left anterior descending artery and distal left circumflex artery. Six hours after the procedure of acute occlusive dissection of left main coronary artery with spreading to ascending aorta developed, it was required to do stenting of the left anterior descending and left main coronary arteries and balloon dilatation of left circumflex artery. Despite the initial success of the repeated intervention, total occlusion of left main coronary artery occurred with unsuccessful reopening in catheterization laboratory. Emergency coronary artery bypass surgery was carried out. However, despite the patent anastomosis from left mammary to left anterior descending artery, the patient died.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
