“…The distance of the abnormal segment is limited so the downstream coronary blood flow distal to the woven segment is absolutely normal.

“…Woven coronary anomaly is an uncommon congenital malformation characterized by the branching of a major epicardial artery into thin channels, which then merge again in order to form the main lumen after twisting along the coronary artery axis [4][5][6]. The distance of the abnormal segment is limited so the downstream coronary blood flow distal to the woven segment is absolutely normal.…”

“…In most of the cases, the right coronary artery is affected but it could be visualized in the LAD and Cx. Because of its common misinterpretation as intracoronary thrombus, spontaneous coronary dissection or bridging collaterals of chronic total coronary arterial occlusion, the frequency of this anomaly is underestimated [5]. The etiology is unknown and it is generally accepted as a benign condition and medical surveillance is recommended for these cases [6].…”

Skuteczne leczenie przezskórne zamkniętej "tkanej" tętnicy wieńcowej -opis przypadkuA Ab bd du ur rr ra ah hm ma an n T Ta as sa al l 1 1 , , A Ah hm me et t B Ba ac ca ak ks si iz z 1 1 , , E Er rc ca an n E Er rd do og ga an n 1 1 , , Z Ze ek ke er ri iy ya a K Kü üç çü ük kd du ur rm ma az z A b s t r a c t "Woven" coronary artery is an uncommon anomaly characterized by the branching of a major epicardial artery into thin channels, which then merge again in order to form the main lumen. Although it is accepted as a benign condition, reduced coronary blood flow and increased shear stress in the narrow braid segments may accelerate atherosclerosis and predispose to the formation of intracoronary thrombus. We describe a 60-year-old man with "woven" left anterior descending and circumflex (Cx) arteries. He had ischemic symptoms due to occlusion in the woven Cx and percutaneous coronary intervention was performed successfully.K Ke ey y w wo or rd ds s: : woven coronary artery anomaly, percutaneous coronary intervention S t r e s z c z e n i e "Tkana" tętnica wieńcowa jest rzadką anomalią i charakteryzuje się odcinkowym podziałem głównej tętnicy nasierdziowej na cienkie kanały, które następnie łączą się ponownie, tworząc główne światło naczynia. Chociaż ten stan uznawany jest za łagodny, zmniejszony przepływ krwi oraz zwiększone napięcie ścinające w wąskich odcinkach "tkanej" tętnicy może przyspieszać rozwój zmian miażdżycowych oraz predysponować do powstawania skrzepliny wewnątrzwieńcowej. Przedstawiamy przypadek 60-letniego męż-czyzny z "tkaną" gałęzią przednią zstępującą i gałęzią okalającą (Cx). U pacjenta wystąpiły objawy niedokrwienia spowodowane niedrożnością "tkanej" Cx leczoną skutecznie za pomocą przezskórnej interwencji wieńcowej.

A woven coronary artery is a rare congenital vascular variation that involves the separation of the artery into several thin channels, which later merge distally to form a single lumen. This mesh of intertwining small vessels may occur anywhere along the vessel and may be present in multiple coronaries. Although generally a benign incidental finding, there have been reported cases of associated ischemia, thrombus and atherosclerotic plaque formation and complications with cardiac intervention procedures. In this review, we have analyzed and compiled all the reported data pertaining to woven coronary arteries and highlighted its relevance to clinical practice.
