| Popis: | Many types of coronary artery anomalies have been detected, and most of them occur in the left circumflex artery. Left circumflex coronary arteries arising from the right sinus of Valsalva or from the right coronary artery have been a commonly described anomaly in the pediatric as well as in the adult population. These anomalies may make an angiographic visualization of coronary circulation and may increase the risk of coronary artery trauma during the intervention or a cardiac surgery. So, the adequate visualization of these anomalies is essential for the proper management of patients. We report a 67-year-old female patient with angina and absent left circumflex coronary artery, in which the artery arose as a terminal extension of the right coronary artery. Angiographically nonvisualization of the left circumflex coronary artery from the left coronary artery is presented. (Korean Circulation J 2001;31(1):125-128) |
