Abstract

Anomalous Aortic Origin of Coronary Arteries: Case Report of Unroofing With Coronary Re-Implantation Technique

Highlights

  • Anomalous Aortic Origin of Coronary Arteries is a rare but potentially lethal condition

  • The mechanisms by which ischemia occurs are those related to the form of the aberrant ostium, those associated with the proximal path which may be intramural or interatrial with possible extrinsic compression which can led to acute angulation and later to resume its normal course, Vasospasm and those relating to the possible secondary endothelial lesion to the turbulent flow [4, 5]

  • In the majority of cases the patients are asymptomatic, this anomaly can arise with pictures of Dyspnea and angina, to condition the appearance of acute infarct myocardium and even sudden death, in USA, it is accepted as the second leading cause of sudden death [4]
