Single Coronary Artery With Coronary Occlusive Disease:

Abstract

Introduction:
Coronary artery anomalies are found in 0.2% to 1 % of the population. Of the different variations from normal coronary patterns, the presence of a single coronary artery is a rare finding1’2. Howe ver, it is important for the clinician who deals with diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease to have a clear understanding of congenit al abnormalities of the coronary arteries. Some types of coronary artery anomalies are associated with myocardial ischernia or sudden death.

Discussion:
Various anatomic classifications of the single coronary artery have been proposed but Lipton’s classification system3’4, which divides them into nine categories, is considered the best.
