Anomalous aortic origin of coronary artery can lead to ischemia. Due to the limitations of invasive catheterization dobutamine stress testing, an alternative noninvasive approach is desired. A 65-year-old woman with atypical chest pain was referred for coronary computed tomography angiography. Although coronary artery disease was excluded, a right anomalous aortic origin of coronary artery with an interarterial and intramural course was discovered. The patient underwent invasive coronary angiography with a dobutamine stress test, which revealed a pathologic fractional flow reserve (ie, dobutamine fractional flow reserve) of 0.76 (normal >0.8) and lateral ostial compression in dobutamine intravascular ultrasound. A physical replication, using a patient-specific 3-dimensional-printed phantom was created based on coronary computed tomography angiography and evaluated in a flow loop under the same hemodynamic rest and stress conditions. The 3-dimensional-printed phantom fractional flow reserve was similar with 0.78, and dobutamine intravascular ultrasound showed comparable lateral compression.
冠状动脉异常起源于主动脉可导致心肌缺血。由于有创导管多巴酚丁胺负荷试验存在局限性,因此需要一种替代性的无创方法。一名65岁有非典型胸痛的女性被转诊进行冠状动脉计算机断层血管造影。尽管排除了冠状动脉疾病,但发现冠状动脉右异常起源于主动脉,走行于动脉间和壁内。该患者接受了有创冠状动脉造影及多巴酚丁胺负荷试验,结果显示病理血流储备分数(即多巴酚丁胺血流储备分数)为0.76(正常>0.8),多巴酚丁胺血管内超声检查显示侧孔受压。基于冠状动脉计算机断层血管造影创建了一个患者特异性的三维打印模型,并在相同的血流动力学静息和负荷条件下在血流回路中进行评估。三维打印模型的血流储备分数相似,为0.78,多巴酚丁胺血管内超声显示有类似的侧方受压情况。
