Diagnosis of variants of single right coronary trunk using 64 multidetector computed tomography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single coronary anomalies are one of the rarest variants of coronary anatomy. Widespread use of coronary CT angiography has made it possible to diagnose these variants with increasing incidence. We report two cases of single right coronary trunk with different anatomic course of the left coronary artery; one anterior to the main pulmonary artery and the second between the main pulmonary artery and ascending aorta and then coursing within the interventricular septum.

We report a case of an anomalous origin of a right coronary artery from the left coronary sinus with an inter-arterial course, between the aorta and the main pulmonary artery. This variant has been called malignant because of its association with sudden death, especially in young asymptomatic athletes. Although these variants are rare, knowledge of cross sectional anatomy of the coronary arteri...
