Coronary Anomalies Daniel Kramer December 17, 2008
Lingering Questions • What is normal? • What is the riskand mechanismof sudden cardiac death in these patients? • What modalities provide useful diagnostic or prognostic information? • What is the optimal management for various anatomical oddities?
Agenda • Anatomy and epidemiology • Physiology and Risk Assessment • Case studies • Clinical Managment
Normal Anatomy Grossman’s Cardiac Catheterization, Angiography, and Inervention 2006
What is normal? Lack of consensus on definitions and diagnosis Anatomy vs physiology Clinical significance 1% Rule? Circulation 2007;115:1296-1305
Epidemiology Estimates vary from 1-5% Texas series of 1950 pts found 5.6% overall RCA from LSV 0.92% LCA from RSV 0.15% Total ACAOS 1.07% Circulation 2007;115:1296-1305
Possible pathways for ACAOS • Retrocardiac • Retroaortic • Preaortic / Inter-arterial • Intraseptal / Intramural • Prepulmonary • AL = antero-left • AR = antero-right • P = posterior Circulation 2007;115:1296-1305

Military recruits 1977-2001 (N = 6.3 million) • 126 nontraumatic deaths • 64 with identifiable cardiac disease • 21 coronary artery anomalies, all LCA from RSV • Prodromal symptoms (chest pain, dyspnea, syncope) noted in autopsy reports of 11 cases. Eckart et al. Ann Intern Med. 2004;141:829-834

Summary • Definitions, epidemiology, and optimal diagnosis / management remains controversial and difficult to study • Exclusion of anomalous coronaries critical in patients surviving SCD, or in younger patients with worrisome symptoms • ~ 1-5% of angiograms; series anomalies rare but significant on a population scale • Relatively large share of SCD in young patients • Combination of CTA / MRA / TTE / TEE / IVUS • Corrective repair recommended for LCA from RSV, any inter-arterial lesion, and ALCAPA • Therapy for other lesions is unclear and typically tailored individually
