A Rare Case of Angina Pectoris with the Longest Ectopic Left Main Coronary Artery Arising from Right Sinus of Valsalva and a Prepulmonic Course

Abstract: Knowledge of the morphoanatomical characteristics of the main trunk of the left coronary artery as well as its variations is cornerstone of hemodynamic, correct interpretation of coronary angiogram and for revascularization purpose. The left main coronary artery (LMCA) ranges from 3 to 6 mm in diameter and may be up to 10 to 15 mm in length in humans. We here report a case of the longest anomalous LMCA (56 mm) reported so far in a 35-year-old man with chronic stable angina arising from right sinus of valsalva … Show more

“…Long left main trunk is quite rare as only few cases have been reported so far. The maximum reported length of LMCA from its usual site of origin (left aortic sinus) is 61 mm3 while it is 56 mm when anomalously arising from right aortic sinus as described by Sinha et al 4. Although short left main trunk is associated with increased risk of arteriosclerosis, similar association with longer one is not described 5.…”

“…Bizim vakamızda izlenen orjin (sol koroner arterin sağ sinüs Valsalvadan köken alması) ve seyir (sol anterior desendan arterin prepulmonik seyiri) anomalisi bu sınıflamaya göre hemodinamik olarak anlamlı olmayan koroner arter anomalileri sınıfına girmektedir. Ancak literatürde sağ sinüs Valsalvadan köken alan tek koroner arterin ve sol anterior desendan arterin prepulmonik seyrinin Prinzmetal anjina, anstabil anjina ve kronik stabil anjinayla ilişkilendirildiği vaka bildirimleri bulunmaktadır (6,7). Araştırmacılar bu vaka bildirimlerinde prepulmonik seyirde anjina patofizyolojisinin ''gerilme'' ile ilişkilendirilebileceğini bildirmişlerdir (7).…”
