Occlusion of a coronary artery by an acute type A aortic dissection presents a life-threatening emergency that is rarely seen and easy to misdiagnose. We present the case of a 75-year-old male who experienced sudden onset of severe left-sided chest pain due to an acute type A aortic dissection that obstructed the right coronary artery. Following an initial misdiagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, imaging revealed the presence of an aortic dissection. An emergency modified Bentall procedure was performed, in which the damaged aorta and aortic valve were replaced.

AbstractA single coronary artery is an exceedingly rare anomaly. Hereby, we present an unusual case of a young patient with an acute coronary syndrome who was found to have a single coronary artery originating from a single ostium in the right sinus of Valsalva with dual left anterior descending (LAD) arteries arising from the right coronary artery with two different anatomical courses, and additionally one of those LADs running a malignant intra-arterial course.

Background: .In developing countries like India CAD is one of the major causes of death. The pattern of coronary artery dominance has a significant clinical role. Left dominance is said to be associated with increase in acute coronary syndrome. The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of coronary artery dominance in Kashmiri population. Materials and Methods : The study was carried on 150 patients above 18 years of age who after routine clinical evaluation were to undergo coronary angiography for various indications and their angiogram was labelled as normal by cardiologist. Results: A total of 150 patients were included in the study, among them 102 were male and 48 were female patients. The mean age for females was 56.4±10.22 years with range from 40-89 years. The mean age of males were 56.1±10.83 years with range from 30-89 years. Right coronary artery was dominant in 130 (86.67%) subjects, left coronary artery was dominant in 15 (10%) subjects and co-dominant circulation was found in 5(3.33%) subjects. Conclusion: The right coronary artery dominance is more prevalent in Kashmiri population. Knowledge about coronary artery dominance provides helpful information to anatomist and is essential for interventional cardiologist.
