Management of a Patient With a Single Coronary Artery Anomaly During a Heart Attack

Öz

The presence of coronary arteries originating from the single coronary orifice is a rare congenital anomaly. In case of obstruction, the whole heart's nutrition is disrupted and diagnosis, intervention, and treatment are important as there is a risk of encountering high-risk clinical conditions, especially sudden cardiac death at a young age. In this article, we present a patient with coronary artery anomaly originating from a single coronary orifice and presenting to the emergency department with angina.
