ABSTRACT
Coronary anomalies are a group of congenital disorders. Most of the coronary anomalies are asymptomatic and benign but may cause myocardial ischemia and sudden death. Some of them are dangerous if they associate with other heart diseases. One of the congenital coronary anomalies is anomalous origin of the circumflex branch from the right coronary artery that is a rare congenital anomaly. We present a case of a 61-year-old man with history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia. The coronary angiography reveals a circumflex branch from the right coronary artery.
RESUMEN
Las anomalías coronarias son un grupo de trastornos congénitos. La mayoría de estas anomalías son asintomáticas y benignas, pero pueden causar isquemia miocárdica y muerte súbita. Algunas son peligrosas si se asocian con enfermedades cardiacas. Una de las anomalías coronarias congénitas corresponde al origen anómalo de la rama circunfleja desde la arteria coronaria derecha, que es poco frecuente. Se presenta un caso de un hombre de 61 años de edad con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus e hiperlipidemia. La angiografía coronaria reveló una rama circunfleja que se originaba desde la arteria coronaria derecha.
