Coronary artery anomalies are uncommon in the general population. The most frequently reported anomaly involving the circumflex artery is its origin from the right aortic sinus or the right coronary artery. However dual circumflex artery is an extremely rare anomaly. We report a case of a 79-year-old male patient who was admitted to our centre with a diagnosis of severe aortic stenosis, scheduled for transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Computed tomography angiography revealed dual circumflex arteries: one originating normally from usual bifurcation of the left main coronary artery and an accessory one arising separately from the left main coronary artery stem proximal to the bifurcation.
冠状动脉异常在普通人群中并不常见。最常报道的累及回旋支动脉的异常是其起源于右主动脉窦或右冠状动脉。然而,双支回旋支动脉是一种极其罕见的异常情况。我们报告一例79岁男性患者,因诊断为严重主动脉瓣狭窄入住我院,计划行经导管主动脉瓣植入术。计算机断层扫描血管造影显示双支回旋支动脉:一支正常起源于左冠状动脉主干的常见分叉处,另一支副支从分叉近端的左冠状动脉主干单独发出。
