title: Identifying the course of an anomalous left coronary artery using contrast-enhanced electron beam tomography and three-dimensional reconstruction.
abstract: Coronary anomalies are a rare but recognized cause of myocardial ischemia and sudden death. Until recently, invasive coronary arteriography was the diagnostic method of choice. However, contrast-enhanced electron beam tomography has the advantage of three-dimensional visualization of anomalous coronary arteries. We describe a case of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery.
