Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a commonly inherited heart disease. In addition, single coronary artery (SCA) is a rare
congenital anomaly of the coronary arteries. And SCA concomitant with severe
hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) has seldom
been reported in the literature. However, such cases
have not been reported to be treated with the Morrow procedure.
Case presentation
Herein, we presented a case of a 64-year-old female diagnosed with a single left coronary artery with severe HOCM. The HOCM was treated with the Morrow procedure. The patient was discharged on the seventh postoperative day and was asymptomatic during the follow-up.
Conclusion
To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting a single left coronary artery with severe HOCM treated with the Morrow procedure. In addition, myocardial protection by cardioplegia antegrade perfusion was safe for the patient with SCA and HOCM.
