e0403 The diagnosis of coronary artery origin anomalies with dual-source CT and its clinical significance

View through CrossRef
Purpose To investigate the clinical value of dual-source computer tomography (DSCT) in detecting anomalous origin of coronary artery for adult patients. Materials and methods A retrospective evaluation to identify 3903 patients who underwent DSCT coronary angiography from Jan 2009 to Jan 2010. Results All images were considered to be suitable for evaluation. Forty-two of 3903 patients were detected to have coronary atrery origin anomaly. The incidence is 1.08%. They include 26 cases with an anomalous origin of right coronary artery (0.67%), 13 cases with an anomalous origin of left coronary artery (0.33%), 3 cases with single coronary artrey (0.08%). Conclusion DSCT coronary angiography that provide accurate depiction of anomalous coronary origin and course along with the complex anatomical relation with the adjacent structures can be considered as a first-line imaging method for delineating coronary arterial anomalies.
