Abstract

Coronary anomalies are a rare but recognized cause of myocardial ischemia and sudden death. Until recently, invasive coronary arteriography was the diagnostic method of choice. However, contrast-enhanced electron beam tomography has the advantage of three-dimensional visualization of anomalous coronary arteries. We describe a case of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery.

摘要

冠状动脉异常是一种罕见但已被认可的心肌缺血和猝死原因。直到最近，有创冠状动脉造影仍是首选的诊断方法。然而，对比增强电子束断层扫描具有对异常冠状动脉进行三维可视化的优势。我们描述了一例左冠状动脉起源异常的病例。
