Published in: European heart journal. Case reports (2022)
This case is the first of an anomalous coronary artery arising from the LVOT diagnosed in a patient after the Ross procedure. Our angiograms shed light on the unusual physiology of coronary filling during systole and ischaemia arising from inadequate perfusion gradient between the left ventricle and the coronary during systole, leading to collateralization despite the lack of anatomic stenosis. We urge consideration of this potentially malignant entity in any symptomatic patient, especially with concomitant BAV.
