Magnetic resonance imaging of an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.
This report describes a 34-year-old woman with an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. The angiographic pattern was clearly demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed before surgery. This case suggests that MRI could play an important role in the pre-operative assessment of coronary anomalies.
