MDCT of the anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left sinus of Valsalva associated with bicuspid aortic valve.
Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery is a relatively rare coronary artery anomaly which is known to cause myocardial ischemia and sudden death. Association of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery with congenital bicuspid aortic valve is even rarer with only a few cases being reported previously. We describe, for the first time, MDCT findings of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery associated with congenital bicuspid aortic valve.
