Severe left anterior descending artery stenosis with proximal arteriovenous malformation presenting as acute myocardial infarction

Severe left anterior descending artery stenosis with proximal arteriovenous malformation presenting as acute myocardial infarction

Congenital coronary artery anomalies are rare, with an incidence of about 0.06–1.3 percent of all patients undergoing cardiac catheterisation. They are commonly asymptomatic, but potentially serious lesions may lead to myocardial ischaemia, infarction and/or sudden cardiac death. The occurrence of a...
