Key result
Case report and literature review characterize an incidental finding of rare woven coronary artery anomaly.
Why the study?
Woven coronary artery anomaly is a rare condition with diversified clinical presentations and limited comprehensive analyses in the literature.
Case Report (n=1)
Woven coronary artery anomaly is a rare epicardial vessel condition that can be discovered incidentally and presents with diverse clinical features.
Adds single case to sparse literature on woven coronary anomaly; leaves open questions on natural history and management.
Woven coronary artery anomaly is a rare description of an epicardial vessel segment that divides into multiple intertwining segments with eventual convergence of the distal vessel. We present our case, a 57-year-old male with an incidental woven coronary artery anomaly found during work-up investigations for a possible lung transplant, and we conduct a literature review on woven anomaly cases reported from 1988 to 2021 and provide a thorough analysis of its diversified clinical presentation. Imaging identification and various treatment modalities are also discussed.

Bamousa et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Woven coronary artery anomaly (n=1). Woven coronary artery anomaly was evaluated. Woven coronary artery anomaly, a rare epicardial vessel anomaly, was incidentally identified in a 57-year-old male and further characterized through a literature review of cases from 1988 to 2021.
