Abstract:
Coronary artery anomalies are often discovered incidentally
during cardiac catheterization or computed tomography
coronary angiography and may involve the affected
coronary artery origin and its course. Coronary artery
anomalies are associated with congenital heart disease. The
affected coronary arteries may have an unusual high take off
origin, origin from contralateral or non-coronary sinus,
origin from the pulmonary artery, single coronary system or
coronary artery fistula.
