We present a case of a patient with inferior myocardial infarction (MI) and anomalous left main artery originating from the right coronary sinus. The left main artery and right coronary artery originated from the right coronary sinus but with separate ostia. The patient underwent revascularization of the right coronary artery with balloon angioplasty and a drug-eluting stent. Despite being rare, these anomalies can be life-threatening depending on the course of the artery, and when atherosclerotic disease is present, a revascularization strategy can be challenging. Knowing the existence of the left main artery anomaly is important to choose the right guide catheter to achieve successful cannulation and decrease the risk of complications, radiation exposure, and contrast usage.
我们报告一例患有下壁心肌梗死(MI)且左主干动脉起源于右冠状动脉窦异常的患者。左主干动脉和右冠状动脉起源于右冠状动脉窦,但开口独立。该患者接受了右冠状动脉球囊血管成形术和药物洗脱支架的血运重建。尽管这些异常情况罕见,但根据动脉走行可能危及生命,并且当存在动脉粥样硬化疾病时,血运重建策略可能具有挑战性。了解左主干动脉异常的存在对于选择合适的引导导管以实现成功插管并降低并发症、辐射暴露和造影剂使用风险非常重要。
