Multivessel Woven Coronary Artery Disease

Area of Science:

• Cardiology
• Vascular Biology
• Medical Case Reports

Background:

• Woven coronary artery disease (WCAD) is a rare condition with an unclear cause.
• Historically considered benign, WCAD is now recognized for potentially causing myocardial ischemia.
• Long-term patient monitoring is essential due to frequent asymptomatic presentation.

Purpose of the Study:

• To report a rare case of multivessel woven coronary artery disease.
• To highlight the occurrence of documented myocardial ischemia in a WCAD patient.
• To present the outcomes of surgical intervention and long-term follow-up.

Main Methods:

• Case report of a patient diagnosed with multivessel woven coronary artery disease.
• Documentation of myocardial ischemia in the affected patient.
• Surgical management via coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
• Clinical follow-up for two years post-intervention.

Main Results:

• The patient presented with multivessel woven coronary artery disease and documented ischemia.
• Coronary artery bypass grafting was performed as the treatment modality.
• The patient remained asymptomatic throughout the two-year follow-up period.

Conclusions:

• Woven coronary artery disease, even in its multivessel form, can be successfully treated with coronary artery bypass grafting.
• Surgical intervention can lead to sustained asymptomatic status in patients with WCAD and ischemia.
• Further research into WCAD etiology and long-term prognosis is warranted.
