Coarctation of the aorta is a form of congenital heart disease requiring surgical intervention. If is often associated with other forms of congenital heart disease. Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery (ALCA) from the opposite sinus of Valsalva is implicated in sudden cardiac death. We report the first case in the literature of coarctation of the aorta associated with ALCA from the opposite aortic sinus and describe surgical correction of these two lesions.
主动脉缩窄是一种需要手术干预的先天性心脏病。它常与其他形式的先天性心脏病相关。左冠状动脉(ALCA)异常起源于对侧主动脉窦瓦尔萨尔瓦是导致心源性猝死的原因之一。我们报告了首例文献中主动脉缩窄合并左冠状动脉异常起源于对侧主动脉窦的病例,并描述了这两种病变的手术矫正。
