Anomalous right coronary artery origin with interarterial pathway-importance of morphological origin assessment and the role of percutaneous interventionism.

Abstract：

:Anomalies in coronary arteries (CA) are an important issue in cardiology and cardiovascular surgery. Specifically the anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) is of special importance because it is the most frequent anomaly. Clinical practice guidelines recommend the revascularization treatment in cases of interarterial pathway and documented myocardial ischemia and when hypoplasia, compression or obstruction is evident. We report two different cases of patients with anomalous origin of RCA and associated interarterial pathway. With them we want to highlight the different presentation forms of these patients and the different diagnostic alternatives available in each of the steps. In the patient with anomalous origin of the RCA and associated interarterial pathway, the first step after establishing the diagnosis is to rule out the presence of inducible ischemia. In those patients in whom ischemia induction tests are negative, the second step is to adequately assess the interarterial pathway, in order to rule out obstructions or compressions that also justify revascularization. In those cases in which all the tests are negative, the current evidence does not recommend revascularization, but adequate periodic follow-up is recommended. For this reason, we believe that the stress echocardiogram and exercise perfusion scintigraphy (based on availability and experience in each center) are fundamental because of their high sensitivity and specificity. We would also like to highlight the role that percutaneous interventionism can play in this type of clinical cases. Especially with patients of high surgical risk and in whom the percutaneous approach is feasible.
