Abstract

Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the left sinus of Valsalva is a rare coronary artery anomaly, and although it is usually asymptomatic, it may lead to angina pectoris, myocardial infarction or sudden death especially in young individuals. Coexistence of this coronary anomaly with bicuspid aortic valve is extremely rare. A 80-year-old female patient was presented to the cardiology department with the complaint of chest pain unrelated to physical exercise which started one week ago. Electrocardiogram revealed sinus rhythm and T wave negativity through the leads V1-V3. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a calcified bicuspid aortic valve with mild regurgitation. Multislice cardiac computed tomography demonstrated that the RCA arose from the left sinus of Valsalva and there were calcified non-obstructive plaques in each of the coronary arteries. Absence of exercise induced chest pain or documented ischemia together with the advanced age of the patient suggested that this congenital coronary anomaly was not responsible for the clinical condition.

Özet

Sağ koroner arterin (SKA) sol sinüs valsalvadan çıkış anomalisi nadir bir koroner arter anomalisi olup genellikle asemptomatiktir; fakat özellikle genç hastalarda göğüs ağrısı, miyokart enfarktüsü ya da ani ölüme neden olabilir. Bu koroner anomali ile biküspid aort kapağının birlikteliği oldukça nadirdir. Seksen yaşında bayan hasta bir hafta önce başlayan egzersiz ile ilişkisiz göğüs ağrısı şikayeti ile kardiyoloji polikliniğimize başvurdu. Elektrokardiyografisi sinüs ritminde idi ve V1 –V3 derivasyonlarında T dalga negatifliği mevcuttu. Transtorasik ekokardiyografide kalsifiye biküspid aort kapağı ve hafif aort yetmezliği tespit edildi. Çok kesitli kardiyak bilgisayarlı tomografide SKA'nın sol sinus valsalvadan çıktığı ve tüm koroner arterlerde anlamlı tıkanıklığa neden olmayan kalsifiye plaklar saptandı. Hastanın göğüs ağrısının egzersiz ile ilişkili olmaması, dökümente iskemisinin olmaması ve yaşının ileri olması nedeniyle bu koroner anomalinin mevcut klinik durum ile ilişkili olmadığı düşünüldü.
