Thrombosis in the Surgically Corrected Anomalous Right Coronary Artery after Reimplantation in Aorta.

Project description:A 32-year-old African American female presented with dyspnea, and after several cardiac diagnostic tests, the diagnosis of an anomalous origin of the RCA from the pulmonary trunk was established by multislice coronary CT angiography. She underwent surgical correction with reimplantation of the RCA, from the pulmonary artery to the aortic root. However, 10 days after surgery, she developed frequent episodes of chest pain, and repeat coronary CTA showed a partially occlusive thrombus in the surgically reimplanted RCA. Anticoagulation with warfarin resulted in complete resolution of the patient's symptoms.

Anomalous Left Main Coronary Artery: Not Always a Simple Surgical Reimplantation.

Project description:We present the case of 56-year-old woman who required complex coronary artery bypass grafting for high-risk anomalous left main coronary artery (LMCA) originating from right coronary cusp including conventional reimplantation of the LMCA plus left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft to the left anterior descending (LAD) and saphenous vein graft (SVG) to the left circumflex (LCx). On subsequent cardiac computed tomography screening and cardiac catheterization, the LIMA graft was occluded after just a few centimeters, but the SVG graft was patent with good run-off into the native LCx and also filled the LAD retrogradely. The reimplanted left main stem demonstrated at least moderate ostial stenosis although pressure wire assessment of this was not significant (fractional flow reserve 0.89), probably due to good retrograde filling of the LAD from the SVG to LCx, therefore, we did not proceed with ostial LMCA stenting. She remains on yearly review with a low threshold for further revascularization should the SVG to LCx develop progressive stenosis. This case illustrates how patients with anomalous LMCA may sometimes benefit from grafting in addition to conventional reimplantation.
