Unexpected entrapment during surgery of anomalous circumflex coronary artery arising from right coronary artery

A patient with advanced rheumatic heart valve disease underwent aortic and mitral valve replacement with tricuspid ring annuloplasty. There was an anomalous left circumflex coronary artery (LCCA) arising from the right coronary artery (RCA) running along the anterior surface of an enlarged right ven...

description A patient with advanced rheumatic heart valve disease underwent aortic and mitral valve replacement with tricuspid ring annuloplasty. There was an anomalous left circumflex coronary artery (LCCA) arising from the right coronary artery (RCA) running along the anterior surface of an enlarged right ventricle (RV). During the immediate postoperative course, signs of inferior and lateral myocardial ischemia developed. An emergent coronary angiography revealed LCCA entrapment. An additional suture placed in the RV outflow tract used to optimize exposition of the aortic root during the aortotomy was determined to be the origin of the coronary entrapment. No similar case of LCCA occlusion has previously been reported. This is a description of successful management of this complication.
