ABSTRACT
Introduction
Acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation (STEMI) is a life threathening
condition that must be given immediate treatment. Reperfusion with Percutaneous Coronary
Intervention (PCI) in culprit lesion of coronary artery occlusion is the definitive strategy in
the management of STEMI patients. Normally, there are three main epicardial coronary
arteries : the right coronary artery, emerging from the right sinus of valsava, and the left
anterior descending and left circumflex coronary arteries, characterized by an initial common
tract (the left main coronary artery) that arises from the left of sinus of valsava. In this case
report, we found an unique case, elderly patient with anteroseptal STEMI with anomalous
aortic origin of the coronaries, subvariant origin of right coronary artery from left aortic of
sinus valsava.
Case Illustration
A 63 year old man come to emergency department with main complaint typical chest pain
since one hour before admission. The patient never felt the same complaint before, and he
was a heavy smoker and have history of hypertension, had no history of diabetes mellitus and
previous history of heart disease. He was stable and remain alert, afebrile, BP :110/60 mmHg,
HR 68 BPM, and physical examination was within normal limit. Laboratory blood
examination shows normal values of cardiac enzyme (CKMB) on first examination, and
increased up to about 10-fold on the second examination, other laboratory examination are
within normal limit. ECG examination shows hyperacute T waves anteroseptal leads. The
patient received initial management of acute myocardial infarction in emergency department,
and was immediately referred to the cardiac catheterization laboratory for primary PCI
strategy. In the coronary angiography procedur of primary PCI, a coronary artery anomaly
was found with the right coronary artery arise frome left aortic of sinus valsava. Primary PCI
with drug eluting stent (DES) was success performed on total occlusion in mid of left
anterior descending artery (LAD), and contrast injection shows flow TIMI 3. After the
procedure, the patient is transferred to high care unit for observation and care. The following
day, transthoracal echocardiography was performed and shows anteroseptal regional wall
motion abnormality with 50% of LVEF. And then the patient was discharged from hospital
without any complaint and receive dual anti platelete theraphy, and statin.
Conclusion
Coronary artery anomaly (CAAs) are often discovered as an incidental finding during the
diagnostic workup for ischemic heart disease. In line with the case An elderly man has an
anteroseptal STEMI with coronary angiography shows a culprit lesion in mid of LAD, and
had anomaly of RCA origin from the left aortic sinus. The case is interesting, because the
clinical correlates and prognostic implication of CAAs remain poorly understood in this
context, the guidline-recommended therapeutic choices are supported by a low level of
scientific-evidence.
