研究目的
To identify and describe a novel type of dual left anterior descending coronary artery circulation using coronary computed tomography angiography.
研究成果
The study reports a novel subtype of dual LAD circulation that does not fit the historical classification scheme, featuring two long LADs running in parallel to supply the antero-septal portion of the left ventricle and terminating at the apex of the heart. This finding highlights the importance of CCTA in evaluating complex coronary architecture.
研究不足
The study is limited by being a single case report, which may not represent the broader population. Further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm the prevalence and clinical significance of this novel dual LAD pattern.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to identify and characterize a novel type of dual left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) anomaly.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A 51-year-old male patient presenting with atypical chest pain underwent CCTA as part of his coronary artery disease risk stratification.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
CCTA scan was performed at the institution.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The CCTA scan was conducted to visualize the coronary artery anatomy, focusing on the LAD anomaly.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The images were analyzed to characterize the novel dual LAD pattern, comparing it with existing classifications.
