Confirmation of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left sinus of Valsalva with magnetic resonance imaging.
Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left sinus of Valsalva is a rare but clinically significant congenital abnormality, difficult to diagnose angiographically. We describe a patient in whom magnetic resonance imaging was used to delineate the anomalous course of the right coronary artery following angiographic demonstration limited by technical considerations.
