Abstract

Coronary artery anomalies that are not causing myocardial ischemia are usually considered benign. Origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva is the most common anatomic variation of this coronary artery. We reported an unusual case of a 68-years-old female patient with prior inferior myocardial infarction, symptom of angina at rest, and anomalous of the left circumflex coronary artery originated from right sinus of Valsalva with obstructive atherosclerotic coronary lesion in coronary angiography

Özet

Miyokard iskemisine neden olmayan koroner arter anomalileri genellikle masum kabul edilir. Sirkumfleks koroner arterin sağ sinüs Valsalva’dan çıkması bu arterin en sık görülen anatomik varyasyonudur. Bu makalede inferior miyokard infarktüsü geçirmiş, istirahat anjinası olan ve koronar anjiyografisinde oldukça seyrek rastlanan aterosklerotik lezyonlu sirkumfleks koroner arter anomalili, 68 yaşında bir bayan olgu tartışıldı
