Coronary Dominance, Left Coronary Artery, Superdominant Anterior Interventricular BranchAbstract
Coronary dominance is generally determined by the origin of the posterior interventricular branch, with right dominance being the most common pattern. However, few reports describe the overdominant left coronary pattern. Therefore, we aimed to report a case of left coronary overdominance, where the posterior interventricular branch was a continuation of the anterior interventricular branch. Although not immediately clinically relevant, certain anomalies can lead to serious complications, such as angina and heart failure. The formation of vascular sinusoids in the embryonic myocardium and their subsequent involution during fetal development may be related to the formation of these anomalies. Therefore, detailed anatomical knowledge of the coronary arteries is essential for identifying variations that may impact cardiovascular health and for preventing ischemic events.
