Anomalous origin of the circumflex artery from the pulmonary artery (ACxAPA) is a rare but clinically significant condition in which the circumflex artery arises from either the main pulmonary artery or one of its main branches. Untreated patients with ACxAPA may develop severe heart failure or sudden cardiac death. Diagnosis is established with either catheter or CT angiography. We present a case of an adult male with no prior known cardiac history who was found to have ACxAPA after presenting to our institution in acute decompensated heart failure.
回旋支动脉起源于肺动脉(ACxAPA)是一种罕见但具有临床意义的病症,其中回旋支动脉起源于主肺动脉或其主要分支之一。未经治疗的ACxAPA患者可能会发展为严重心力衰竭或心源性猝死。通过心导管检查或CT血管造影来确诊。我们报告一例成年男性病例,该患者既往无已知心脏病史,因急性失代偿性心力衰竭就诊于我院后被发现患有ACxAPA。
