Aberrant origin of coronary artery is a rare congenital anomaly associated with increased risk of myocardial ischemia and sudden death, with the highest risk lesions being those arising from the opposite sinus of Valsalva. We report a case with an aberrant right coronary artery arising superior to the left coronary cusp, with a slit-like ostium, having an inter-arterial and intramural course through the aortic root, that underwent repositioning of the right coronary artery. We believe such cases warrant surgical correction and reimplantation is a safe, effective and reproducible technique.
冠状动脉异常起源是一种罕见的先天性畸形,与心肌缺血和猝死的风险增加相关,其中风险最高的病变是发自对侧主动脉窦的冠状动脉。我们报告了一例起源于左冠状动脉瓣上方的右冠状动脉异常,其开口呈裂隙状,经主动脉根部走行于动脉壁内和动脉之间,行右冠状动脉再定位术。我们认为此类病例需要手术矫正,而冠状动脉再植入术是一种安全、有效且可重复的技术。
