Case report: Transesophageal echocardiography detected severe regional wall motion abnormalities signifying failed reimplantation of an anomalous left main coronary artery

摘要

Purpose Anomalous coronary arteries comprise a spectrum ranging from benign to fatal. The most ominous lesion that occurs is the left main coronary artery (LMCA) originating from the opposite aortic sinus. This defect usually presents as sudden death in a healthy young adult immediately after exercise. We report a case of reimplantation of an anomalous LMCA, discovered in a 15-yr-old girl during investigations for atypical chest pain.
