title: Confirmation of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left sinus of Valsalva with magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: 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.
