Review of Single Coronary Artery with Report of 2 Cases

Abstract: The paper includes a discussion of all published cases of single coronary artery and a consideration of the embryologic development and physiologic significance of this anomaly. The incidence and types of associated cardiac diseases are reviewed. Two additional case reports of this anomaly are included.T HE OCCURRENCE of a single coronary artery is such a rare cardiac anomaly that presentation of 2 additional cases is of interest. The first case is unique in that the patient was the oldest in whom such an anom… Show more

“…Several mechanisms of myocardial ischemia in single coronary artery, such as entrapment of an anatomically ectopic artery between the aorta and the pulmonary trunk, 2) flap-like ostium closure, 3) coronary vasospasm, 4) slow controlled ischemia, 5) and atherosclerotic change in the coronary artery 6) have been proposed. In this case, acute myocardial infarction was attributed to a significant stenosis at the middle portion in the left anterior descending artery, which was subsequently dilated by a coronary stent.…”

“…1) A single coronary artery is often associated with myocardial ischemia and additional cardiac congenital anomalies. [2][3][4][5][6] We report a patient with an isolated single coronary artery and an acute myocardial infarction. This case deals with a very unusual type of single coronary artery in which the right coronary artery originated from the middle portion in the left anterior descending artery through the transverse branch.…”

“…The first classification system for single coronary artery was proposed by Smith [5] in 1950 [6]. He put forth the idea of three categories according to the distribution of the single coronary artery.…”

“…The entire myocardium of the heart with a single-coronary artery is nourished by an artery, regardless of distribution, that arises by one ostium from an arterial trunk (Smith, 1950). The diagnosis of the coronary artery anomalies had depended on the coronary angiography for several decades.…”

“…The current classification system of solitary coronary artery was proposed by Lipton et al(1979), who incorporated two previous systems defined by Smith (1950) and Ogden and Goodyear (1970), respectively, into one final system. Based on those classifications, the first division was made between the 'R' right-type and 'L' left-type according to the site of origin of the single-coronary artery (i.e., in the right or left Valsalva's sinus).…”
