We present our case to emphasize the implications of an anomalous left circumflex artery (LCX) when performing valve-sparing root replacement
Coronary angiography confirmed an anomalous LCX originating from the dominant right coronary artery, coursing into the obtuse marginal distribution (Figure 1, C)
Summary
The Journal policy requires editors and reviewers to disclose conflicts of interest and to decline handling or reviewing manuscripts for which they may have a conflict of interest. Anomalous origin of the left circumflex artery (LCX) has been recognized in 0.67% of patients who have undergone selective coronary angiography.[1] We present our case to emphasize the implications of an anomalous LCX when performing valve-sparing root replacement.
