Abstract
The right coronary artery arising from the left anterior descending artery is a rare coronary artery anomaly. In a 56-year-old female, an anomaly with the right coronary artery, originating from the left anterior descending artery, coursing anteriorly to the pulmonary artery was detected by cardiac CT. Therefore, we hereby report a case of the single left coronary artery diagnosed by a 64-slice multidetector cardiac CT.
좌관상동맥의 좌전하행지(left anterior descending artery)에서 기시하는 우관상동맥은 드문 기형이다. 이에 저자들은 만성 흉통을 호소하는 56세 여자 환자에서 시행된 64절편 다검출기 심장 전산화단층촬영(CT) 검사에서 우관상동맥이 좌관상동맥의 좌전하행지에서 기시하여 폐동맥 앞쪽으로 지나는 경로를 확인하였고 단일관상동맥으로 진단하여 이를 보고하고자 한다.
