Our study suggests that anticoagulation with IV enoxaparin infused over 30 minutes is a safe and an equally effective alternative to subcutaneous enoxaparin in critically ill infants and children.
An anomalous coronary artery (ACA) is a congenital malformation or variation where one or both coronary arteries have an abnormal origin. This condition has been associated with a high risk of adverse cardiac events, including sudden cardiac death. Our patient initially presented nine years before the diagnosis of the ACA with anginal chest pain on exertion. The patient had positive nuclear stress with both ST depressions and ST elevations, as well as transient ischemic dilatation of 1.36. A coronary artery angiogram revealed an anomalous left coronary artery originating from the right coronary sinus. The distal anatomy was determined with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), which showed an interarterial course. The patient underwent coronary artery bypass surgery following CCTA.
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.
