Computed tomography angiography not only detects atherosclerotic coronary artery disease but also helps delineate the anomalous coronary arterial anatomy that may be more than just an incidental finding and could contribute to patients' symptomatology. Additionally, identification of coronary artery anomalies is clinically significant for preoperative planning and optimizing the approach for coronary catheterizations or surgical treatments. In this work, we review rare origination anomalies of coronary arteries and illustrate their characteristics through computed tomography images.
计算机断层血管摄影不仅可检测出动脉粥状硬化性冠状动脉疾病，还可帮助描绘可能不只是偶然发现、且可能导致患者出现症状的异常冠状动脉解剖结构。此外，冠状动脉异常的识别对术前规划和优化冠状动脉导管插入术或手术治疗的方法具有重要的临床意义。在这项工作中，我们回顾了冠状动脉罕见起源异常，并通过计算机断层图像说明了其特征。
