This study reports the first case of an absent left circumflex coronary artery. A large diagonal artery and an elongated right coronary artery supplied the left ventricle.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Human Anatomy

Background:

  • Coronary artery anomalies are rare but can have significant clinical implications.
  • Understanding variations in coronary artery anatomy is crucial for cardiovascular diagnosis and surgical planning.

Observation:

  • A unique case of congenital coronary artery anomaly was identified.
  • The left circumflex artery was congenitally absent.

Findings:

  • The left ventricle's lateral and posterior walls were supplied by an unusually large diagonal artery.
  • A significantly elongated right coronary artery compensated for the absent left circumflex artery, extending along the atrioventricular groove.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the diverse anatomical variations possible in coronary circulation.

  • Awareness of such anomalies is vital for interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to prevent misdiagnosis or complications.
  • Further research into the embryological basis of such anomalies may provide deeper insights.
