Dual Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery: A Rare Coronary Anomaly

Dual Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery: A Rare Coronary Anomaly We were asked to review the coronary angiogram of a patient showing a dual left anterior descending (LAD) arterial supply anomaly. This prompted a review of the database at Ochsner Foundation Hospital for congenital coronary anomalies in general and similar cases in particular. Between 1989 and 1996, 15,714 coronary catheterizations were performed. We found 134 anomalies (0.85%); the presence of a dual supply to the usual LAD territory was found in 2 patients (0.013%). In this report, we present the absolute and relative incidence of the individual patterns. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Interventional Cardiology Wiley

Abstract

We were asked to review the coronary angiogram of a patient showing a dual left anterior descending (LAD) arterial supply anomaly. This prompted a review of the database at Ochsner Foundation Hospital for congenital coronary anomalies in general and similar cases in particular. Between 1989 and 1996, 15,714 coronary catheterizations were performed. We found 134 anomalies (0.85%); the presence of a dual supply to the usual LAD territory was found in 2 patients (0.013%). In this report, we present the absolute and relative incidence of the individual patterns.
