Isolated single coronary artery (SCA) is a rare anomaly. Current classification of left and right is further classified based on the course of the anomalous vessel. We report two SCA L cases where right coronary artery (RCA) arose from mid-left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Our observation is a variation from the current Lipton classification SCA L Type II where RCA arose from left coronary artery before the LAD, in our cases the RCA arose from mid LAD after the first septal perforator. We believe that this variant should be described as SCA L Type II variant 2 (V2) while the original Lipton classification should be described as SCA L Type II variant 1 (V1).
孤立性单冠状动脉(SCA)是一种罕见的异常。目前的左、右分类是基于异常血管的行程进一步分类的。我们报告了两例左 SCA,其中右冠状动脉(RCA)发自中前降支(LAD)。我们的观察结果与当前的 RCA 发自 LAD 之前的左冠状动脉的 Lipton 分类 SCA L 型 II 不同,在我们的病例中,RCA 发自 LAD 后的第一个间隔穿支之后。我们认为这种变体应该被描述为 SCA L 型 II 变体 2(V2),而原始的 Lipton 分类应该被描述为 SCA L 型 II 变体 1(V1)。
