Aberrant crossed left circumflex and left anterior descending arteries: diagnosis with multidetector cardiac CT angiography.
The multidetector coronary computed tomography angiogram findings of a rare variant crossed left circumflex and left anterior descending artery are presented. In this patient, multidetector coronary computed tomography angiogram enabled clear delineation of the aberrant coronary artery anatomy, including an estimation of patency during systole and diastole. To our knowledge, this is only the second reported case of this particular coronary artery anomaly in the world literature.
