Abstract
Anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare but very serious congenital coronary artery anomaly. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography has recently become the gold standard for depicting anatomical variations and anomalies of the coronary arteries because the origin and course of anomalous arteries can be demonstrated very accurately by this technique. In this report, we present a case of 22-year-old female who was admitted to our emergency department with cardiac arrest. In the course of diagnosis, MDCT coronary angiography revealed a left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery as well as marked dilatation of the coronary arteries.
Özet
Sol koroner arterin ana pulmoner arterden köken alması, nadir ancak tehlikeli konjenital koroner arter anomalilerinden birisidir. Çok kesitli bilgisayarlı tomografi (ÇKBT) koroner anjiyografi ile anomalili arterlerin kökeni ve seyri mükemmel olarak ortaya konulabildiği için, özellikle koroner arterlerin anatomik varyasyonları ve anomalilerini göstermede bu teknik son zamanlarda altın standart haline gelmiştir. Bu yazıda, acil servisimize kardiyak arrest nedeniyle kabul edilen 22 yaşında bir kadın vakayı sunuyoruz. Tanı sürecinde, ÇKBT koroner anjiyografi, ana pulmoner arterden çıkan bir sol koroner arter ile koroner arterlerde belirgin genişlemeyi göstermiştir.
