Duplication of Left Anterior Descending Artery: A Case Report on a Rare Abnormality

TL;DR

This case report describes a rare condition where a 50-year-old woman had a duplicated left anterior descending coronary artery, a benign but unusual coronary anomaly.

Contribution

The paper presents a unique case of dual LAD diagnosed using modern imaging techniques, contributing to the understanding of rare coronary artery anomalies.

Findings

A 50-year-old female was diagnosed with a duplicated left anterior descending artery.

The case highlights the importance of recognizing rare coronary anomalies to prevent potential cardiac complications.

Abstract

Duplication of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) is a benign condition. The formation of a double LAD is a rare phenomenon among coronary artery anomalies. The categorization of the branching pattern of the LAD has been articulated well in numerous studies, owing to the widespread adoption of computed tomography angiography. Anomalous coronaries are a crucial pathological condition that should be examined. Individuals who are suffering from chest pain should be aware that it can potentially lead to myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac death. Here is a unique case study detailing the diagnosis of dual LAD in a 50-year-old female patient.
