RESUMEN
Las anomalías coronarias congénitas representan una rara entidad que infrecuentemente resulta la etiología subyacente de un síndrome coronario agudo. En esta presentación se describe el caso de una paciente de 48 años portadora de una hipoplasia grave del tronco y de la arteria descendente anterior asociada con un infarto agudo de miocardio sin elevación del segmento ST y se evalúan sus diagnósticos diferenciales, así como la decisión terapéutica. La paciente fue intervenida quirúrgicamente, con una evolución inicial favorable.
ABSTRACT
Congenital coronary artery anomalies are a diverse group of congenital disorders and an uncommon cause of acute coronary syndrome. We describe the case of a 48-year old woman with severe hypoplasia of the left main and left anterior descending coronary arteries associated with non-STsegment elevation acute myocardial infarction. Differential diagnoses and treatment options are evaluated. The patient underwent surgery with favorable outcomes.
