Abstract

Double left anterior descending artery, defined as the presence of two different arteries within anterior interventricular sulcus is a relatively rare coronary anomaly. In this anomaly divided into four types, type IV can be differentiated from the other types with a long left anterior descending artery originating from right coronary artery. In this report, we present a case of type IV dual left anterior descending artery anomaly in a 72-year-old male patient. Although type IV double left anterior descending artery was in association with various congenital heart diseases in the previous reports, the presence of atherosclerosis in long left anterior descending artery has not been reported previously. In our case, both the long anterior descending and the circumflex arteries demonstrated atherosclerotic stenosis. These lesions were concluded to have resulted from long-term smoking and hyperlipidemia.

Özet

Ön interventriküler sulkus içinde iki ayrı arterin bulunması olarak tanımlanan dual sol ön inen arter, oldukça seyrek rastlanan bir koroner arter anomalisidir. Dört tipe ayrılan bu anomalide tip IV, uzun sol inen arterin sağ koroner arterden ayrılması ile diğer tiplerden farklılık gösterir. Bu yazıda 72 yaşında bir erkek hastada saptanan tip IV dual sol ön inen arter anomalisi sunulmaktadır. Daha önce bildirilen olgularda tip IV dual sol ön inen arterin çeşitli doğumsal kalp hastalıklarına eşlik ettiği görülmüşse de, uzun sol ön inen arterde aterosklerotik koroner arter hastalığının bulunmasına rastlanmamıştır. Olgumuzda hem uzun sol ön inen arterde aterosklerotik daralma, hem de sirkümfleks arterin aterosklerotik tıkanması söz konusuydu. Bu lezyonlar hastada bulunan uzun süreli sigara içme öyküsü ve hiperlipidemiye bağlandı.
