Management of Acute Coronary Syndromes in Lipton L-1 Type Single Coronary Artery Systems

Abstract

Single coronary artery (SCA) systems are a rare congenital anomaly where one coronary artery arises from a single coronary ostium and provides supply to the entire myocardium. Although typically found incidentally, SCA can have a range of manifestations including angina, syncope and sudden cardiac death (SCD). We present three cases of Lipton classification L-1 SCA admitted with acute coronary syndromes.
