Abstract:
Braid-like coronary artery is very rare. It is featured by the division of the coronary artery into multiple tortuous small channels that later converge into a normal lumen at any segment of the coronary artery. We presented a case of a 27-year-old male patient with occasional chest pain. In coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and coronary angiography, a braid-like appearance was found in the right coronary artery. After multidisciplinary discussion, it was speculated to be a woven coronary artery (WCA). We conducted a literature review about woven coronary arteries.
