“…As seen in this case, it has a separate origin from the right sinus of Valsalva in about 50% of the population. The left conus branch is the first and the largest of several right ventricular branches originating from the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery [1]. In rare instances, these two branches can anastomose to form a collateral pathway between the right and left heart.…”

“…When present, arterial rings are usually seen in cases of proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) occlusion. It is rarely seen in cases of right coronary artery (RCA) occlusion [1].Here we present the case of a patient with a Vieussens' Arterial Ring identified in the absence of significant LAD or RCA occlusion with a hypoplastic left coronary arterial system. To the best of our knowledge, these findings have not been previously documented in the literature.…”

“…There have been 2 reported cases of this condition. 1,2 This is the first reported case in such a large aneurysm of the Vieussens' arterial ring. This patient also demonstrated the complementary role of different investigations in working up the rare diagnosis of a common presentation.…”

Detection of Large Aneurysm of Vieussens’ Arterial Ring After Abnormal Shadow on Chest Radiography

A 73-year-old woman presented to our institution with an abnormal shadow on chest radiography. The patient was a nonsmoker and enjoyed good past health. There were no constitutional symptoms. She was completely asymptomatic during exercise and at rest. An ECG (Figure 1) showed normal sinus rhythm. A posteroanterior view of the chest radiograph ( Figure 2) showed a well-circumscribed roundish mass at the left heart border. A lateral chest radiograph ( Figure 3) suggested a more anterior-located abnormality.An echocardiogram was performed to delineate the relationship of the mass and the adjacent cardiac structure. It showed a large vascular structure anterior to the main pulmonary artery and continuous flow from the mass to the main pulmonary artery. Because the pulmonary artery vessel wall was clearly defined, the mass was unlikely to originate from the pulmonary artery per se. Differential diagnosis included coronary artery aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation (online-only Data Supplement Movies I and II). Left

“…Vieussens’ name is still used frequently in cardiovascular medicine today. His namesake valve in the heart was first described in his 1706 publication (Vieussens, 1706): Vieussens’ arterial ring provides collateral blood flow to the left coronary artery system in cases of proximal left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion (O’Leary et al ., 1998; Kocica et al ., 2004). This arterial ring involves the anastomosis between the right and left conal arteries.…”

Raymond de Vieussens provided significant insight into more than one area of medicine and opened up the field of research for decades to come. Raymond de Vieussens was born in France and graduated with his medical doctorate in 1670 from the University of Montpellier. After graduation Vieussens was appointed as physician to the hospital of Saint Eloys in Montpellier. At the beginning of his career Vieussens' work was well received in the European medical community and is heralded as the most complete account of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves to emerge in the 17th century. In 1706, Vieussens published Nouvelles Découvertes sur le Coeur, in which he presented detailed anatomy of the lymphatic system and blood vessels of the heart. Vieussens' observations on the heart were expanded in 1715 with the publication of Treatise of the Heart. In this treatise Vieussens described the pericardium, coronary vessels and muscle fibers of the heart in detail. His work also included the first documented clinical presentations and autopsy results of patients with mitral valve stenosis and aortic valve insufficiency. Vieussens' 1715 Treatise of the Heart was heralded as one of the most important discussions on the correlation between clinical symptoms of heart disease and the anatomical basis for these findings. The legacy of Vieussens persists today via the multiple eponyms attributed to his initial descriptions.
