A rare case of dual left anterior descending artery type 4 in inferior myocardial infarction patient: a case report

Type 4 dual LAD is a rare coronary anomaly with potential clinical risks, including sudden cardiac death due to its course between major arteries. Variations in the structure of coronary arteries can present challenges for interventional cardiologists when conducting percutaneous coronary interventions. Accurate coronary anatomy assessment via angiography and computed tomography coronary angiography is crucial for successful percutaneous coronary intervention and surgical planning. Although uncommon, the dual LAD type 4 anomaly is a significant coronary artery variation that interventional cardiologists must consider due to its impact on prognosis and long-term treatment strategies.
