Coronary artery anomalies are rare and may involve the coronary origin, course, or termination. Most are benign; however, some can lead to myocardial damage, sudden death, or potential hazards during interventional or surgical procedures. The advancement of imaging studies has led to an increase in their diagnosis. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) especially has characterized new anomalies that were previously anecdotal. This is the case of the intra-atrial course of the right coronary artery. The present is a brief review about this rare congenital anomaly.
冠状动脉异常较为罕见，可能涉及冠状动脉的起源、走行或终止。大多数是良性的；然而，一些可能导致心肌损伤、猝死或介入或手术过程中的潜在危险。影像学研究的进步导致其诊断率增加。特别是冠状动脉计算机断层血管造影（CCTA）已经描述了以前偶发的新异常。右冠状动脉心房内走行就是这种情况。本文简要回顾了这种罕见的先天性异常。
