A rare coronary artery anomaly:Double lad with atherosclerosis
Sol ön inen arterin çift olması nadir görülen bir koroner arter anomalisidir. Koroner arter anomalilerinin çoğu asemptomatiktir. Bu yazıda, her iki dalı da yaklaşık eşit kalibrasyonda olan ve paralel seyreden çift LAD'li bir olguyu tanımlıyoruz. Her iki dalın proksimalinde anlamlı darlık mevcuttu ve bu durum intraoperatif olarak doğrulandı. Baypas greftleme uyguladığımız normal orijinli çift LAD olgusunun ilgi çekici olduğunu düşünüyoruz.
Nadir bir kroner arter anomalisi: Aterosklerotik çift lad
Double left anterior descending (LAD) artery is a rare coronary artery anomaly. Most coronaiy artery anomalies are usually asymptomatic. In this case report we describe a patient with double LAD with two branches of almost equal caliber and parallel. Both of the branches had significant proximally stenosis and this condition was demonstrated intraoperatively. This normally originated double LAD may be considered interesting. We revascularized the double LAD with bypass grafting.
