Key result
Conventional coronary artery bypass grafting was successfully performed in a 70-year-old man with an anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the right coronary artery and associated coronary artery disease, leading to an uneventful recovery.
Case Report (n=1)
Coronary artery bypass surgery is an effective treatment approach for patients presenting with an anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the right coronary artery associated with atherosclerotic heart disease.
May support CABG feasibility in anomalous LMCA with CAD; case report leaves broader applicability open.
Coronary artery anomalies are not frequent, nevertheless they are associated with increased and potentially lethal cardiac events. Recognition of these anomalies is fundamental in patients undergoing diagnostic or interventional coronary angiography. Most patients presenting with coronary anomalies are asymptomatic, but the risk of myocardial ischemia and sudden death requires the treatment of those patients. Different therapeutic options have been discussed, including surgery, conservative therapy, and interventional approaches. In this report, an aberrant origin of the left main coronary artery arising from the right coronary artery associated with coronary artery atherosclerosis and its surgical correction is described.

Beiras-Fernandez et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Aberrant origin of the left main coronary artery arising from the right coronary artery associated with coronary artery disease (n=1). Coronary artery bypass grafting was evaluated on Operative and postoperative course. Conventional coronary artery bypass grafting was successfully performed in a 70-year-old man with an anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the right coronary artery and associated coronary artery disease, leading to an uneventful recovery.
