Anomalous coronary artery from the opposite sinus (ACAOS) is an uncommon, yet highly variable anatomical abnormality. These coronary anatomy variants are often discovered incidentally during cardiac catheterization. These variants can be challenging intraoperatively and require adjustment by the operator. We present the case of a 93-year-old female who presented for shortness of breath due to severe mitral regurgitation (MR), who was found to have an anomalous left main coronary artery (LMCA) from the right sinus of Valsalva (RSOV). This asymptomatic finding was managed conservatively and patient underwent successful MitraClip treatment.
起源于对侧窦的异常冠状动脉(ACAOS)是一种罕见但解剖变异高度多样的异常情况。这些冠状动脉解剖变异常在心脏导管检查时偶然发现。这些变异在手术中可能具有挑战性,需要术者进行调整。我们报告一例93岁女性患者,因严重二尖瓣反流(MR)导致气短前来就诊,该患者被发现左主冠状动脉(LMCA)起源于右冠窦(RSOV)。这一无症状发现采取了保守处理,患者成功接受了MitraClip治疗。
