Coronary artery bypass surgery in anomalous coronary arteries

Introduction

2011 ACCF/AHA Guideline for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

2011 ACCF/AHA Guideline for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Anomalous Coronary Arteries (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I
“1. Coronary revascularization should be performed in patients with:
a) A left main coronary artery that arises anomalously and then courses between the aorta and pulmonary artery.[2][3][4] (Level of Evidence: B)
b) A right coronary artery that arises anomalously and then courses between the aorta and pulmonary artery with evidence of myocardial ischemia.[2][3][4][5] (Level of Evidence: B)”
Class IIb
“1. Coronary revascularization may be reasonable in patients with a LAD coronary artery that arises anomalously and then courses between the aorta and pulmonary artery. (Level of Evidence: C)”
