Anomalous origin of the left circumflex artery from the pulmonary artery associated with non-compaction of the left ventricle: usefulness of multimodality imaging-a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The anomalous origin of the left circumflex artery from the pulmonary artery (ACXAPA) is a very rare coronary anomaly. Only a few cases have been reported until today, from incidental findings to autopsy reports after sudden cardiac death.

Case summary

We report here for the first time the case of a man, previously monitored for asymptomatic left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, who presented with non-ST myocardial infarction and was diagnosed with ACXAPA. Complementary tests confirmed ischaemia in the corresponding territory, and the patient was referred to surgery for reimplantation of the circumflex artery.

Discussion

Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy whose association with coronary anomalies, no
