AI Article Synopsis
- Rare cases of coronary artery origins can occur, where the right coronary artery comes from the left sinus and the left coronary artery comes from the right sinus.
- These conditions are infrequently found during cardiac catheterization but are more common in autopsy reports of young individuals who have experienced sudden cardiac death.
- The abnormal path of the aberrant artery, running between the aorta and pulmonary artery, is considered dangerous due to an increased risk of heart problems and unexpected death.
Article Abstract
A right coronary artery origin from the left coronary sinus and a left coronary origin from the right sinus although rarely encountered during routine cardiac catheterization, they represent two relatively common autopsy findings in young patients suffering sudden cardiac death. The interarterial course of the aberrant artery, between the aortic root and the pulmonary artery has been considered as a malignant variant, because of the higher risk of myocardial ischemia and sudden death. We present two rare cases of ectopic coronary origin from the opposite sinus of Valsalva.
