“…Cardiomyopathy has been described in association with a single coronary artery (4,5,24,25). Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy such as patient #10 may be more susceptible to ischemia because of the small coronary ostium relative to the large distal branches.…”

Isolated single coronary artery is a rare congenital anomaly occuring in approximately 0.024% of the population. This entity can be diagnosed during life only by coronary angiography. Ten patients with isolated single coronary artery are reported. Based on angiographic analysis, a new classification is proposed, according to the site of origin and anatomical distribution of the branches. Typical angina did not occur with single coronary artery in the absence of coexisting coronary artery disease or aortic stenosis. No correlation was apparent between the type of anomalous patterns and the symptoms of angina.

“…One recent study of 4,250 coronary angiograms included no patients with single coronary artery although numerous other types of anomalies were described (3). Diagnosis was first made in a living patient by angiography (4,5). The clinical and radiographic information given in previous isolated case reports has been incomplete.…”

The single coronary artery is a benign and very rare coronary artery abnormality. Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery originating from the left anterior descending artery has been reported previously in just a few cases. In this article, we presented a patient with an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the midportion of the left anterior descending artery. The anomalous coronary artery was discovered incidentally during a coronary angiography performed prior to mitral valve surgery. Copyright © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Single coronary artery was first defined in 1941 and shown with angiography in two patients in 1967 [34]. This is a very rare coronary anomaly, generally associated with complex congenital heart defects, which makes it rare even among the elderly.…”

Aim: To date there has been no data about the prevalence of coronary artery anomaly (CAA) in the Turkish population of the Black Sea Region who underwent trans-radial coronary angiography. We aimed to determine the frequency and characteristics of CAA in our patients. Material and Method: All the coronary angiographies performed from September 2015 to September 2016 in our hospital were reviewed. Demographic characteristics and laboratory parameters of patients were reviewed retrospectively from the patients' data set. A total of 1617 patient were included in our study. Results: CAAs were found in 73 patients (4.51%), of whom 41 (56.16%) had intrinsic coronary artery anatomy. Twenty-two (30.13%) patients had anomaly of origination and course and 10 (13.69%) patients had anomaly of coronary artery termination. The mean age was 59.35±11.86 in the study group and 60.11±6.61 in the control group. Myocardial bridge was the most common anomaly in our study with a prevalence of 2.16%. Absent LMCA was the second most common anomaly in our study with a prevalence of 0.80% and coronary artery fistula was third with a prevalence of 0.61%. Discussion: We found the prevalence of CAAs among the Turkish population of the Black Sea Region to be similar to previously published studies from our country. To avoid misunderstandings one must know the normal anatomy of coronary vasculature, variations, and the anomalies. When coronary angioplasty or cardiac surgery is planned in patients with CAA, special attention must be paid not to harm coronary arteries in unexpected locations.

Single Coronary Artery Case Report

Abstract: Single coronary artery is a very rare anomaly which does not reveal clinical evidence and usually diagnosed fortuitously during autopsy. The occasional case of single coronary artery may be difficult to differentiate from idiopathic hypertrophy of the heart.
