MCQ 16. Coronary branches (19)

Q. In left dominant circulation, which of the following is not a branch of left circumflex artery?
A. AV nodal artery
B. Obtuse marginal artery
C. Posterolateral branches
D. Conus artery


Answer: D. Conus artery


Explanation:
In right dominant circulation, AV nodal and posterolateral branches arise from RCA whereas in left dominant circulation they arise from left circumflex artery. In codominant circulation, AV nodal artery arise from RCA and posterolateral branches arise LCx. Obtuse marginal arteries are branches of left circumflex and acute marginal arteries are branches of right coronary artery.

Origin of conus artery is not affected by dominance of cardiac circulation. It arises from RCA and supplies the right ventricular outflow tract. Sometimes, it may directly arise from left main coronary artery.

Coronary artery perforation

  Management of coronary artery perforation 1.       Balloon inflation for occlusion of vessel 2.       General circulatory support → Intravenous fluids and vasopressors 3.       Urgent pericardiocentesis if cardiac tamponade (may consider autotransfusion) 4.       Call anaesthetist and inform surgeons. Repeat angiogram ↓ Extravasation settled → Yes → Monitor patient ↓ No #        Large vessel perforation 1.       Prolonged balloon inflation 2.       Covered stent placement #        Small distal vessel perforation 1.       Embolization (fat, coils, thrombin, balloon fragment) 2.       Covered stent in main vessel over perforated branch origin
