Right sinus origin of left coronary artery is a very uncommon congenital coronary anomaly. The presence of an associated totally occluded right coronary artery represents an exceedingly rare picture. An accurate morphologic identification of anomalous arteries, by multi-detector computed tomography, is mandatory before planning any therapeutic intervention. We report an interesting case of chronic total occlusion of the right coronary artery in a young patient with anomalous left coronary artery.
右窦起源的左冠状动脉是一种非常罕见的先天性冠状动脉异常。伴有完全闭塞的右冠状动脉的存在代表了一种极其罕见的情况。在计划任何治疗干预之前,必须通过多探测器计算机断层扫描对异常动脉进行准确的形态学识别。我们报告了一例有趣的年轻患者的右冠状动脉慢性完全闭塞病例,该患者伴有左冠状动脉异常。
