We report a case of 52-year-old male with chest pain where computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) demonstrated rare variant of dual left anterior descending artery (LAD) with anomalous origin and intramyocardial trans septal course of long LAD and normally arising shorter LAD from left main coronary artery terminating in proximal interventricular groove. We propose that this anatomy represents a new variant of dual LAD (Type VI-B). Our case highlights the role of CTCA in identifying such variant anatomy which can attribute to patients' symptoms and guide further management.
我们报告一例52岁男性胸痛患者,计算机断层扫描冠状动脉造影(CTCA)显示左前降支(LAD)罕见变异,长LAD起源异常且走行于心肌内跨间隔,短LAD正常起源于左冠状动脉主干,止于近端室间沟。我们认为这种解剖结构代表了双LAD的一种新变异(VI-B型)。我们的病例突出了CTCA在识别这种可导致患者症状并指导进一步治疗的变异解剖结构中的作用。
