Combined intra-cavitary course of left anterior descending artery and myocardial bridge of right coronary artery in right ventricle hypertrophy: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intra-cavitary (IC) coronary course is a rare anatomical variant that has become more commonly reported in the last decade. While the condition is generally benign and often discovered incidentally during coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), these arteries are vulnerable to injury during cardiac interventions. It is unclear whether right ventricle (RV) pathology, such as dilatation or hypertrophy, plays a role in this condition.

Case summary

A patient in their fifties with a medical history of rheumatic heart disease and atrial fibrillation presented with dyspnoea and orthopnea but denied any previous chest pain. Upon examination, the patient exhibited slow atrial fibrillation and generalized anasarca. Echocardiography revealed severe mitral stenosis,
