Abstract

Objective: There is no established current algorithm of treatment and clinical follow-up in children with coronary artery anomalies. We analysed the clinical characteristics, diagnosis treatment options of children and adolescents identified with coronary artery anomaliesMethod: In this retrospective study, 4000 children who attended to our clinic were included between January 2016 and January 2018 at paediatric cardiology department. We reviewed the medical records of 12 patients who had suspicion of coronary-artery anomalies by transthoracic echocardiography.Results: Twelve cases were detected to have coronary artery anomalies. All patients were childrenadolescent with a mean age at the time of diagnosis of 10.7±5 years. None of the patients had cardiac ischemia symptoms. Most common anomaly (5 patients) was the left circumflex coronary artery (Cx) originating from the right coronary artery (RCA). Surgical therapy is recommended in two of 12 patients withinterarterial course of coronary artery anomaly.Conclusion: Echocardiography is an important diagnostic tool in childhood due to acoustic window quality. It is crucial to identify children, particularly children with anomalous origin of coronary arteries who will participate competitive sports. Additional imaging tools including computer tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiography and coronary angiography are needed to confirm the definite diagnosis.

Özet

Amaç: Koroner arter anomalisi olan çocuklarda güncel bir tedavi ve klinik izlem algoritması mevcut değildir. Çalışmamızda çocuklarda ve adölesanlarda koroner arter anomalilerinin klinik özellikleri, tanı ve tedavi seçenekleri analiz edildi. Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya 0cak 2016-Ocak 2018 tarihleri arasında pediyatrik kardiyoloji kliniğimize gelen 4000 çocuk hasta alındı. Transtorasik ekokardiyografi ile koroner arter anomalisi düşünülen 12 olgunun medikal kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: On iki olguda koroner arter anomalisi olduğu tespit edildi. Tüm hastalar çocuk ve ergen olup, ortalama tanı yaşı 10,7±5 yıl idi. Hastaların hicbirisinde kardiyak iskemi semptomları yoktu. En yaygın anomali (5 hasta), sağ koroner arterden (RCA) kaynaklanan sol sirkumfleks koroner arter (Cx) idi. On iki hastadan koroner arteri interarteriyel seyirli olan iki olguya cerrahi tedavi önerildi. Sonuç: Ekokardiyografi, akustik pencere kalitesi nedeniyle çocukluk çağında önemli bir tanı aracıdır. Özellikle yarışmalı sporlara katılacak çocuklarda anormal kökenli koroner arterleri belirlemek çok önemlidir. Kesin tanıyı doğrulamak için bilgisayarlı tomografi anjiyografi, manyetik rezonans anjiyografi ve koroner anjiyografi gibi ek görüntüleme yöntemlerine ihtiyaç vardır
