| description | Sudden cardiac arrest in an apparently healthy patient is an uncommon and distressing experience for clinicians, and a prompt response improves outcome. A previously undiagnosed underlying cardiac anomaly places patients at risk of intraoperative critical incidents that could be fatal. We herein report a rare case of anomalous coronary arteries in a previously asymptomatic 25-year-old male who was rescheduled for a non-cardiac surgery after two previous episodes of intraoperative cardiac arrests. |
