Abstract

LOPEZ MARTIN, José Carlos; FERRER ALEMAN, Eduardo  and  REYES SANCHEZ, Raúl E. Coronary angioplasty on anterior descending artery with anomalous origin and right coronary artery. MEDISAN [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.6, pp.835-839. ISSN 1029-3019.

The case report of a former smoker is presented who (without any other history) after a stressful situation began to experience during more than 20 minutes a severe retrosternal and oppressive precordial pain irradiated to the left shoulder, accompanied by diaphoresis. Taking into account the results of the stress test and ultrasonography, cardiac catheterization was performed that allowed to diagnose an abnormality in the left coronary artery, which consisted in the birth of the anterior descending artery from right coronary artery. The obstruction of both arteries was successfully removed by angioplasty and vascular stent placement.

Keywords : anterior descending artery; cardiac catheterization; coronary abnormality; coronary angioplasty; vascular stent.
