The incidence of various coronary artery anomalies ranges between 0.3 and 0.8% in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Anomalous coronary arteries are not considered a risk factor for development of coronary atherosclerosis. Most anomalies are discovered as incidental findings during coronary arteriography or at autopsy. In this case, the coronary angiography was performed the patient admitted with atrioventricular complet block and, left main coronary artery arising from the right sinus of Valsalva as a single coronary ostium was seen. This is an extremely rare coronary anomaly.

Kardiyak kateterizasyon yapılan hastalarda çeşitli koroner arter anomalilerinin insidansı yüzde 0.3 ile 0.8 arasındadır. Koroner arter anomalileri koroner ateroskleroz gelişimi için bir risk olmadığı düşünülür. Çoğu anomaliler otopsi ya da koroner angiografi sırasında tesadüfen bulunur. Bu vakada, atrioventriküler tam blokla gelen hastaya koroner angiografi yapıldı ve sol ana koronerin sağ sinus valsalvadan tek koroner ostium gibi çıktığı görüldü. Bu oldukça nadir bir koroner anomalidir

Anahtar Kelimeler

Tek koroner arter, koroner arter anaomalisi, AV tam blok
