Abstract

Double left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery arising from both the left and right coronary arteries is a very rare congenital abnormality. A 40-year-old male patient presented with dyspnea. Coronary angiography showed no signs of atherosclerosis. The left anterior descending artery terminated before reaching the apex. Another coronary artery that arose from the proximal of the right coronary artery reached the apex. Multislice computed tomographic angiography showed double LAD originating from the left and right coronary arteries. The patient was informed about the abnormality and was discharged to be monitored without medications.

Özet

Sağ ve sol koroner arterlerden köken alan çift sol ön inen koroner arter (LAD) çok nadir bir anomalidir. Kırk yaşında erkek hasta kliniğimize nefes darlığı yakınmasıyla başvurdu. Koroner anjiyografide ateroskleroz yoktu. Ancak, LAD arter orta kısımda sonlanmaktaydı ve apekse ulaşmıyordu. Bunun yerine, sağ koroner arter proksimalinden köken alan başka bir koroner arter apekse ulaşıyordu. Hastaya çokkesitli bilgisayarlı tomografi ile koroner anjiyografi yapıldı, sağ ve sol koroner arterlerden köken alan çift LAD arter görüldü. Durumu hakkında bilgilendirilen hasta ilaçsız takip edilmek üzere taburcu edildi.
