Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of anomalously originating left coronary artery from right coronary sinus - A case report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Laboratory investigations included Hb 15 gm%, WBC count 12000/μL, P 66% L30% E4%; PLT count 1.8 lakhs/μL; RBS 125 mg%; Urea 35mg%; Serum Creatinine 1mg%; Serum Sodium 140 mEq/L; Serum Potassium 3.4 mEq/L. Balloon angioplasty may be a more favorable approach for revascularization in these vessels. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in an anomalous left coronary artery (LCA) can be technically difficult because selective cannulation of the vessel may not be easy. We thereby present a case with anterior wall myocardial infarction of an anomalously originated LCA. The PCI was successfully performed without severe cardiovascular adverse effects. The earlier unpublished data from our center also suggested that PCI with an anomalous origin of LCA might also be a safe, available, and feasible strategy.
