Single coronary artery (SCA) is a rare congenital anomaly whereby only one coronary artery arises from single coronary artery ostium of the aortic trunk and supplies the whole heart. The incidence of this anomaly is 0.0024-0.066% in patients undergoing coronary angiography. It is usually an isolated anomaly and majority of patients are picked up incidentally. Lipton classification is widely used to classify this anomaly. Most cases are detected by computerized tomography and/or coronary angiography and are treated medically. Here, we present a rare case of type RII-B in which the patient underwent coronary artery bypass graft for severe triple vessel disease presenting as acute myocardial infarction.
单冠状动脉(SCA)是一种罕见的先天性异常,即只有一条冠状动脉从主动脉干的单个冠状动脉开口发出并供应整个心脏。在接受冠状动脉造影的患者中,这种异常的发生率为0.0024-0.066%。它通常是一种孤立的异常,大多数患者是偶然发现的。利普顿分类法被广泛用于对这种异常进行分类。大多数病例通过计算机断层扫描和/或冠状动脉造影检测到,并采用药物治疗。在此,我们报告一例罕见的RII-B型病例,该患者因严重的三支血管病变表现为急性心肌梗死而接受了冠状动脉旁路移植术。
