A single coronary artery (SCA) is a rare congenital anomaly of the coronary circulation, which is often associated with other congenital anomalies. The reported incidence of a SCA ranges from 0.6 to 1.3% of the population undergoing coronary angiography. The absence of the right coronary artery (RCA) with the origin of the RCA arising from the distal circumflex artery is an extremely rare variant of the SCA. The incidence of the anomaly is uncertain, with few cases reported. We report the case of a 68-year-old female, in whom the RCA arises as an extension of the distal left circumflex coronary artery.
单支冠状动脉(SCA)是一种罕见的冠状动脉循环先天性异常,常与其他先天性异常相关。在接受冠状动脉造影的人群中,SCA 的报告发生率为 0.6%至 1.3%。右冠状动脉(RCA)缺失,而 RCA 的起源于远侧回旋支,是 SCA 的一种极其罕见的变异。该异常的发生率不确定,仅有少数病例报道。我们报告了一例 68 岁女性的病例,其中 RCA 是左回旋支远段的延伸。
