She was rapidly resuscitated and was later found to have an ectopic origin of the left coronary artery. This anomaly was surgically repaired by translocating the ostium from the right to the left sinus of Valsalva. Her difficult postoperative course prompted further coronary evaluation, which revealed severe stenosis of the neoostium. The patient underwent a second operation: this time, the stenosis was bypassed via a left internal mammary artery-to-left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) graft. Hypoplasia of the LAD and spasm during manipulation caused the graft to fail, necessitating double-stent angioplasty of the left main ostium and the LAD 2 months later. At the patient's 6-month follow-up examination, she had no further evidence of functional ischemia, and she resumed jogging.<\/jats:p>\n        <jats:p>Because the mode and mechanism of the patient's condition and events were documented in unusual detail, this case furthers our understanding of sudden cardiac arrest in athletes who have rare coronary anomalies. We conclude that ectopia of a coronary artery does not itself cause potentially fatal ischemia. Rather, these events are due to the ectopic artery's intramural proximal course within the aortic media, which might result in critical stenosis by means of hypoplasia or lateral compression of the artery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14503\/thij-12-2867","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,1]],"date-time":"2014-04-01T16:43:24Z","timestamp":1396370604000},"page":"212-216","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Sudden Cardiac Arrest at the Finish Line: In Coronary Ectopia, the Cause of Ischemia Is from Intramural Course, Not Ostial Location"],"prefix":"10.14503","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Steven","family":"Joggerst","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Monge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Uribe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Scott","family":"Sherron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Angelini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"5628","reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"i0730-2347-41-2-212-b1","series-title":"Ann Intern Med","first-page":"829","article-title":"Sudden death in young adults: a 25-year review of autopsies in military recruits","volume":"141","year":"2004","unstructured":"Eckart\n              RE\n            , ScovilleSL, CampbellCL, ShryEA, StajduharKC, PotterRN, et al.
