Anomalous right coronary artery stemming from left coronary sinus and malignant interarterial course in a middle-aged woman: a case report and review of diagnostic and surgical management.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAn anomalous right coronary artery (RCA) arising from the left coronary sinus with an interarterial/intramural course can cause exertional ischemia and, rarely, sudden death. Functional testing and coronary CT angiography (CCTA) are key for diagnosis and risk stratification. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 46-year-old woman presenting with exertional dyspnea and jaw discomfort. She had no conventional cardiovascular risk factors aside from hyperlipidemia and a family history of premature coronary disease. Exercise treadmill testing and myocardial perfusion imaging revealed inducible ischemia. Coronary computed tomography angiography demonstrated an anomalous RCA arising from the left coronary sinus with an interarterial and intramural course between the aorta and pulmonary artery. Surgical consultation confirmed a malignant anatomical variant, and the patient underwent successful coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with complete symptom resolution. DISCUSSION: This case underscores the importance of considering congenital coronary anomalies in the differential diagnosis of exertional angina, especially in patients without atherosclerosis or major cardiovascular risk factors. Functional and anatomical imaging are essential for risk stratification. CABG remains an effective treatment for high-risk anomalies when direct reimplantation is not feasible.
conclusionIn symptomatic patients with demonstrable ischemia and high-risk anatomic features, surgery provides excellent outcomes. Early recognition using complementary functional and anatomic imaging is essential.
