AbstractThe occurrence of super-dominant “single coronary artery” is an extremely rare and seldom reported phenomenon. The heart is dependent on a single vessel which makes its occlusion, if present, catastrophic. Here, the authors present an extremely rare combination of superdominant right coronary artery coexisting with absent left coronary artery and left circumflex artery with abnormal origin of left anterior descending artery from right coronary sinus. Precise morphological and physiological knowledge and evaluation of these anomalies is a must for opting the best available therapeutic modality and better prognosis.

We describe a case of guiding catheter induced dissection of left main coronary artery and ascending aorta. A patient with unstable angina and two-vessel disease underwent drug eluting stents implantation in proximal left anterior descending artery and distal left circumflex artery. Six hours after the procedure of acute occlusive dissection of left main coronary artery with spreading to ascending aorta developed, it was required to do stenting of the left anterior descending and left main coronary arteries and balloon dilatation of left circumflex artery. Despite the initial success of the repeated intervention, total occlusion of left main coronary artery occurred with unsuccessful reopening in catheterization laboratory. Emergency coronary artery bypass surgery was carried out. However, despite the patent anastomosis from left mammary to left anterior descending artery, the patient died.

Super-dominant right coronary artery and the absent left circumflex artery is a rare congenital coronary anomaly, with only a few cases reported in the literature. Left anterior descending artery arises directly from the left anterior coronary cusp. Rare coronary anomalies are sometimes encountered during primary percutaneous interventions, which may lead to changes in the course of action. We report a case of a 38-year-old patient admitted with acute anterior wall myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. Coronary angiography revealed super-dominant right coronary artery and absent left circumflex artery. There was thrombotic occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending artery. The patient underwent successful primary percutaneous intervention of the left anterior descending artery with a good result, was discharged after 5 days. Our case also shows the importance of taking coronary angiogram of the contralateral artery first, before taking the shoot of the infarct-related artery.
