Özet

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery (LCA) from the right coronary artery sinus is a rare congenital coronary anomaly. We report a case of a 48-year-old symptomatic man who was admitted to our clinic with a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction and hypercholesterolemia. Coronary angiography was performed revealing anomalous left coronary artery from the right coronary artery sinus. In addition, stenosis of RCA and well developed stenotic diagonal artery were detected with coronary angiography. We performed coronary by-pass with left internal mammarian artery to diagonal artery and vena saphena to right coronary artery (RCA). Both coronary angiography and intraoperative view should be evaluated well in patients with anomalous of the coronary artery.
