Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Single Coronary Artery: Two Case Studies
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Single coronary artery (SCA), a congenital and rare anomaly, is defined as a coronary artery arising from the sinus of valsalva and supplying the entire heart. According to modified Lipton's classification criteria, L-1 subtype is the rarest type of SCA. Here we present two L-I subtype cases. In case one, one of the side branches from the first septal artery proceeded as the right coronary artery (RCA). In case two, the distal septal artery and distal circumflex artery together served as the RCA. Both two patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention because of unstable coronary artery disease.
