Why the study?
Single coronary artery is a rare anomaly linked to sudden cardiac death, and awareness is crucial during catheter ablation of premature ventricular complexes neighboring coronary arteries to prevent vascular injury.
Highlights the importance of identifying rare coronary anomalies like a single coronary artery before catheter ablation of premature ventricular complexes to prevent inadvertent vascular injury.
Alerts to single coronary artery risk in PVC ablation; leaves open need for routine screening protocols.
Single coronary artery is a rare congenital anomaly associated with sudden cardiac death even though most of the cases are asymptomatic. Cardiac computerized tomography angiography plays an essential role in establishing the diagnosis of single coronary artery and designating the arterial course. Being aware of coronary anomaly is crucial in some cases scheduled for catheter ablation of premature ventricular complex neighboring to coronary arteries to prevent radiofrequency ablation related vascular injury.
