The Role of MDCT Coronary Angiography in the Detection of Benign Varieties and Anomalies of Coronary Blood Vessels-A Narrative Review. [PDF]

Medicina (Kaunas)
Coronary arteries may vary in quantity, point of origin, or course. These variations fall under the category of anatomical variants/anomalies of the coronary arteries, representing congenital abnormalities of the coronary vascular system. Generally, they are benign, asymptomatic, and identified inadvertently during coronary angiography conducted for ...

Altered hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1 alpha expression levels correlate with coronary vessel anomalies [PDF]

Developmental Dynamics, 2009
AbstractThe outflow tract myocardium and other regions corresponding to the location of the major coronary vessels of the developing chicken heart, display a high level of hypoxia as assessed by the hypoxia indicator EF5. The EF5‐positive tissues were also specifically positive for nuclear‐localized hypoxia inducible factor‐1 alpha (HIF‐1α), the oxygen‐

Coronary artery anomalies: A case of the “malignant” left coronary artery and its surgical management [PDF]

Open Medicine
Any variance of the normal coronary vasculature is regarded as a coronary artery anomaly (CAA). An atypical left coronary artery arising from the right aortic sinus of Valsalva has been identified as the rarest CAA and the second leading cause of sudden ...

Circumflex Coronary Artery Agenesis Associated With Thoracic Great Vessels Anomalies

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2010
Coronary artery anomalies are identified in approximately 1% of patients who undergo angiography; among these, circumflex branch agenesis represents 0.003%. A 38-year-old woman was brought to our emergency department with clinical findings suggestive of acute myocardial infarction. Absence of circumflex branch was reported during angiography.

Great Vessel and Coronary Artery Anatomy in Transposition and Other Coronary Anomalies

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2013
In patients with transposition of the great arteries, the identification of coronary anatomy is fundamental to optimal surgical outcome. A number of classifications describing the coronary vessels' origin and course in transposition of the great arteries have been published. However, all are limited to operative or pathological case series.

A Case of Coronary Vessel Anomaly of the Left Circumflex Artery Originating from the Right Coronary Artery with Variant Angina

Korean Circulation Journal, 2004
Coronary vessel anomaly is a rare disease, with an incidence of about 0.6-1.3% of patients receiving coronary angiography. The ischemia in coronary vessel anomalies is due in most cases to atherosclerosis or compression of the coronary artery by a great vessel, but occasionally spasm of a coronary vessel anomaly is responsible for the pathogenesis of ...

Coronary Artery Anomalies in Review: Anomalous Origin, Aneurysms, and Fistulae [PDF]

Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal
Coronary artery anomalies are rare congenital abnormalities involving abnormal coronary artery origin and incomplete/abnormal vessel development. These anomalies encompass a broad anatomical spectrum with varied clinical presentations ranging from sudden

Woven Coronary Artery Anomaly: An Incidental Finding and Literature Review

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2022
Woven coronary artery anomaly is a rare description of an epicardial vessel segment that divides into multiple intertwining segments with eventual convergence of the distal vessel. We present our case, a 57-year-old male with an incidental woven coronary
