Coronary artery anomalies are congenital changes in their origin, course, and/or structure. They are the second most frequent cause of sudden death in young athletes. Dual LAD artery is a rare coronary anomaly. We present the case of a 44-year-old man with recent onset exertional angina and documented ischemia whose coronary angiogram and computed tomography (CT) showed type 4 dual LAD artery, the rarest and most interesting variant.

Coronary Artery Fistulas

Coronary artery fistulas can go undetected as they tend to remain clinically silent. Larger fistulas can end up with sudden death, ischemia, endocarditis or CCF. However, these are detected incidentally during non-invasive or invasive diagnostic testing for unrelated symptoms. This report describes such a case in a 56 year old male while undergoing a coronary angiogram following an anteroseptal infarction three weeks prior to the procedure. The fistula arose from the proximal left LAD and was seen in all views. It is important for cardiologists to remember about the possibility of such uncommon possibilities.Ibrahim Med. Coll.

Coronary artery anomalies are congenital changes in their origin, course, and/or structure. Most of them are discovered as incidental findings during coronary angiographic studies or at autopsies. A coronary artery fistulae involve a communication between a coronary artery and a chamber of the heart or any segment of the systemic or pulmonary circulation. We present herein the case of a 67-year-old man with a recent history of exertional angina and dyspnea to usual daily activities whose coronary angiogram revealed an interesting and incidental coronary-pulmonary artery large fistulae.

Coronary artery anomalies are congenital changes in their origin, course, and/or structure. Most of them are discovered as incidental findings during coronary angiographic studies or at autopsies. We present herein the case of a 70-year-old man with symptomatic severe aortic valvar stenosis whose preoperative coronary angiogram revealed a so far unreported coronary anomaly circulation pattern.

AbstractWe report the case of an adolescent who was presented with long-standing exertional symptoms, and was diagnosed with an anomalous right coronary arterial origin arising above the commissural junction between the left and right aortic sinus, with inter-arterial and intramural compression. The precise origin of this lesion outside the aortic sinuses is unusual, and multi-detector computed tomography gave excellent definition and spatial resolution of the anomalous origin and course. It is crucial to have a high index of suspicion of exertional symptoms, as sudden death may be the first manifestation of an anomalous coronary artery.

Sudden death in young athletes is a rare and devastating event. The most frequent causes of sudden death in this group are hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, anomalous coronary artery, and Marfan syndrome. This article describes the physiology of exercise and the pathophysiology associated with the most frequent causes as well as some of the less common causes of sudden death in young athletes. Identification of youth who may be at risk should be a priority for health care practitioners, and suggestions for recognizing and counseling affected athletes are therefore included
