Dual left anterior descending artery (LAD) is a rare congenital coronary artery anomaly with a prevalence of approximately 1% in the general population. To date, 10 types of dual LAD artery anomalies have been reported. Among these, type 4 is one of the rarest. Knowledge and recognition of the dual LAD artery are important for correct diagnosis and planning of coronary bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention. We report a case of a 59-year-old male with type 4 dual LAD artery who presented with dyspepsia and sweating for several months and had approximately 50%-70% stenosis in a major diagonal branch off the short LAD artery.
双左前降支动脉(LAD)是一种罕见的先天性冠状动脉异常,在普通人群中的患病率约为1%。迄今为止,已报道了10种双LAD动脉异常类型。其中,4型是最罕见的类型之一。了解和认识双LAD动脉对于正确诊断以及冠状动脉搭桥手术和经皮冠状动脉介入治疗的规划非常重要。我们报告一例59岁男性患有4型双LAD动脉,该患者出现消化不良和出汗数月,其短LAD动脉的主要对角支有大约50%-70%的狭窄。
