title: Diagnosing rare cases of anomalous origin of the coronary arteries in tetralogy of Fallot using CT in an infant and an adult.
abstract: Major and minor coronary artery anomalies in tetralogy of Fallot is a well-described finding. The importance of determining the coronary distribution impacts upon the decision making for surgery and subsequent management. Traditionally, the coronary distribution is relied classically on echocardiography and cardiac catheterisation; however, they have well-known limitations. The use of CT as a first-line investigation modality for coronary artery distribution is discussed.
