Mrs. Shikha, 51 years old pleasant lady presented to us with the complaints of acute severe pain in the left leg associated with bluish discoloration for 5 days. She is a known case of Ischemic Dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) for last 6 years & had history of formation of LV thrombus for repeated times. She was on regular anti-platelets, anti-ischemic & anti-coagulant drugs. Recently her echocardiogram report revealed- IDCM, Mitral regurgitation (gr-11), spontaneous echo contrast within LV, LVEF- 24%. On this admission her CT coronary angiogram of lower limb vessels revealed total occlusion associated with thrombosis of left common iliac, external iliac & internal iliac, distal popliteal, ant. & post. tibial, peroneal arteries, & on right side diffuse atherosclerosis of distal popliteal, ant & post tibial arteries. Patient was treated with anticoagulants, anti platelet, anti-ischemic & other relevant medications & referred to vascular surgeon.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/kyamcj.v2i1.13521 KYAMC Journal Vol.2(1) 2011 pp.149-151

Aorto-ostial coronary lesions (AOLs) are important to detect due to the high risk of catastrophic consequences. Unfortunately, due to the complexities of these lesions, they may be missed on invasive coronary angiography. Computed tomography coronary angiogram (CTCA) is highly sensitive and specific in detecting AOLs, and has the additional advantage of demonstrating the surrounding anatomy. CTCA is particularly useful when assessing for AOL aetiologies in addition to atherosclerotic disease, for example Congenital anomalies, extrinsic Compression, Iatrogenic, Arteritis and Other, such as Thrombus, Embolism, Dissection and Spasm. This gives rise to “CIAO (TEDS)” as a proposed aide-mémoire and will form the structure of this pictorial review.

Abstract Background We report a rare case of a patient who presented with chest pain and was found to have a constellation of rare cardiac anomalies. Case presentation A 67-year-old patient with no past medical history presented with chest pain. He had mild troponin elevation, but no ischemic changes on ECG. He underwent a CT coronary angiogram for further evaluation. He was found to have a type 0 bicuspid aortic valve, large left sinus of Valsalva aneurysm and type R-III single coronary artery. These findings were confirmed with transesophageal echocardiogram and coronary angiogram. He underwent a successful repair of his aortic root aneurysm with a synthetic patch. Conclusions The combination of type R-III single coronary artery, bicuspid aortic valve, and left sinus of Valsalva aneurysm congenital anomalies in one individual is extremely rare and marks our case unique. Given the size of his Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, the patient underwent surgical repair of his aneurysm and was asymptomatic when seen in follow-up.
