LOPEZ, Dra. Giorjanela; QUESADA, Dr. Luis Diego; CON, Dr. Pedro and DIAZ, Dr. Geiner. Nacimiento anómalo de la arteria coronaria izquierda en un tronco común en el seno de Valsalva derecho. Rev. costarric. cardiol [online]. 2007, vol.9, n.2, pp.21-24. ISSN 1409-4142.
A 36 year old female, who at age 14 underwent a pulmonary valvulotomy for congenital pulmonary stenosis, presented with chest pain and dyspnea with mild activity for the last 6 months. Coronary angiography revealed the left coronary artery originating from a common vessel with the right coronary artery, and severe stenosis at the origin of the left anterior descending artery. The patient was referred for surgical coronary revascularization.
