“…However, ischemia is also reported when an anomalous coronary artery does not run between the great vessels as in our case. Although SCA is generally considered benign, it has been associated with myocardial infarction and heart failure [15,22]. In our case, our patient did not have any history of myocardial infarction even though he had severe stenosis in LAD (osteal).…”

We report a case of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery in a 58-year-old male patient. The patient had a single coronary ostium originating from the left sinus valsalva. Right coronary artery was originating from the distal circumflex artery. There was no other cardiac anomaly in association with this rare case. Our patient had only severe atherosclerosis in the proximal left anterior descending artery with normal coronary flow in the circumflex artery. Generally, cases with single coronary ostium are considered to be benign. However, these patients experience the symptoms of coronary artery disease more critically because of dependence on one coronary artery.

Anomalous coronary arteries in adults detected by multislice computed tomography: presentation of cases from multicenter registry and review of the literature

et al. 2008

Anomalous coronary arteries are a rare condition, but they may cause myocardial ischemia, heart failure, and sudden death. We evaluated the prevalence and multislice computed tomographic (MSCT) findings of anomalous coronary arteries in a large number of patients from the multicenter registry. At four institutes, 29 (0.74%) out of 3910 patients were found to have anomalous coronary arteries by MSCT. They consisted of 15 patients with anomalous origins of the right coronary artery, 1 with right-sided origin of the left circumflex artery, 1 with right-sided origin of the left main coronary artery, 2 with double right coronary arteries, 2 with the absence of the left circumflex artery, 1 with absence of the right coronary artery, 6 with coronary artery fistulas, and 1 with Bland-White-Garland syndrome. Multislice computed tomography findings were consistent with those obtained by conventional coronary angiography in all 14 patients undergoing both diagnostic procedures. Multislice computed tomography permits three-dimensional comprehension of coronary arteries, which is suitable for the diagnosis of anomalous coronary arteries.
