Abstract

The incidence of single coronary artery is extremely rare in a review of congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries. This 27-year-old male patient was referred for the evaluation of cardiac condition showing exertional dyspnea[NYHA class II-III] and chest discomfort for about 1 year. A complete catheterization study including angiogram disclosed large single coronary artery arising from left aortic sinus [Ogden classification L-4] associated with bicuspid aortic valvular stenosis and low grade supravalvular aortic stenosis. Calcified stenotic aortic valve was fully removed with caution and the 19mm St. Jude Medical valve was then implanted in the small nortic annulus. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on 13th postoperative day.
