CT angiography images of an anomalous right coronary artery.
We describe a 33-year-old male with angina pectoris who was found to have abnormal origin and course of right coronary artery from left aortic cusp. The abnormal origin was identified by conventional coronary angiography but the abnormal course of the vessel between ascending aorta and the main pulmonary artery was precisely delineated by high resolution CT angiography. Patient underwent successful surgical transposition of the anomalous vessel with complete resolution of symptoms.
