AI Article Synopsis
- This study discusses a case of Vieussens' arterial ring aneurysm found in a patient during a coronary CT scan.
- It explains that the Vieussens' arterial ring is a remnant from early development in the heart called the conotruncal circle.
- This particular case is notable as it's the first documented instance of a dilated Vieussens' arterial ring occurring without any associated blockage in the coronary arteries.
Article Abstract
We present the case of Vieussens' arterial ring aneurysm in a patient who underwent coronary computed tomography. Vieussens' arterial ring is a remnant of the embryonic conotruncal circle. Only four cases of aneurysm are described in literature. This is the first reported case in which a dilated Vieussens' arterial ring is observed without coronary stenosis.

Article Synopsis
- Vieussens' arterial ring (VAR) is a rare vascular anomaly involving a connection between the right coronary artery (RCA) and left anterior descending artery (LAD), which can lead to significant clinical issues.
- An 80-year-old woman was found to have a mediastinal mass that progressed over two years, ultimately leading to a large aneurysm and a fistula between the coronary and pulmonary arteries.
- Surgical intervention successfully removed the aneurysms and closed the fistula, highlighting the need for awareness of VAR to improve treatment strategies in cardiovascular cases.

The quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital anomaly. We report a 51-year-old woman with QAV who experienced intermittent chest pain due to fibrotic tissue overgrowth from the small left coronary cusp, obstructing the left main coronary artery (LM). Angiography revealed a large "Vieussens' arterial ring," which acted as a collateral channel from the right coronary artery to the left coronary artery, preserving coronary blood flow and left ventricular function.
