2DE findings | LCA: 10 mm (+ 14.7 z) | LCA: 3.34 mm (+ 3.44 Z); LAD: 1.5 mm (- 0.17 Z); LCx: 1.53 mm (0.09 Z) RCA: 0.99 mm (-2.06 Z) | LCA: Not visible. Proximal LAD: 1.48 mm (+ 1.59 Z). Mid LAD: 2.01 mm (+ 3.42 Z). RCA: 2.15 mm (+ 4.03Z) |
Treatment received | IVIg (2 g/kg); aspirin (3-5 mg/kg/day) | IVIg (2 g/kg); aspirin (3-5 mg/kg/day); infliximab (5mg/kg) | IVIg (2 g/kg); aspirin (3-5 mg/kg/day) |
CTCA findings | Separate origins of the LAD and LCx from left sinus with no LCA | Single coronary artery arising from left sinus with left dominant circulation. Anomalous origin of RCA from common trunk left sinus with interarterial course. No evidence of any stenosis/ectasia/aneurysm was seen | Anomalous origin of LCA from MPA c/w ALCAPA with dilated LAD and LCX. Diffusely dilated RCA (likely due to ALCAPA). No aneurysm was seen in the coronary arteries |
