We present a patient with chest pain and suspicious findings in electrocardiography and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy for myocardial ischemia. Coronary angiography and then echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a dilated left anterior descending coronary artery, which has fistulous communication with a large, separate chamber that occupies the infero-apical interventricular septum. This is a challenging congenital anomaly for a clinician in many aspects, which are discussed in the report.
The absence of the right coronary artery is an extremely rare variety of single coronary artery. We report a patient in whom the right coronary artery arose from the distal left circumflex artery. This is the first report describing images of this anomaly obtained by multislice computed tomography.
