ACAOS (Anomalous Coronary Artery From the Opposite Sinus) as Part of a Chaos: 75 Years of Harmonious Occult Coexistence

J Invasive Cardiol. 2022 Jun;34(6):E488. doi: 10.25270/jic/21.00441.

Abstract

It is uncommon for the left anterior descending coronary artery to arise from the contralateral Valsalva sinus, and more of a rarity to see coexistent left main coronary artery anomaly. Our patient reported normal daily physical activity and denied further evaluation (stress test, scintigraphy) or cardiothoracic consultation. She continues to be symptom free at 1-month follow-up.

Keywords: ACAOS; anomalous coronary artery; coronary artery atresia.
