چکیده

Coronary anomalies are rare, with a reported prevalence of 1.3% among patients who undergo coronary angiography. The great majority of coronary artery anomalies are incidental findings and are not clinically significant, but in some cases, may be responsible for angina, syncope, arrhythmias or even sudden death. In the following case, we describe coronary CT angiography findings of one of the rarest coronary anomalies. Lipton R-I type single right coronary artery has only been previously reported in very few occasions and has been seen in only 0.0007% of the population.

A rare coronary artery anomaly: duplication of right coronary artery with separate ostium on 64-row multidetector computed tomography.

Coronary artery anomalies are rare, and their incidence varies from 0.6% to 1.3%. Conventional angiography is a commonly used modality for the assessment of coronary artery anomalies, but it may not identify and define the anatomy of anomalous arteries due to the complexity of the course and three-dimensional orientation of the arteries. We present a rare case of duplicated right coronary arter...

Malignant anomalous right coronary artery detected by multidetector row computed tomography coronary angiography

This variant has been called malignant because of its association with sudden death, especially in young asymptomatic athletes. Although these variants are rare, knowledge of cross sectional anatomy of the coronary arteri...

Diagnosis of variants of single right coronary trunk using 64 multidetector computed tomography.

Single coronary anomalies are one of the rarest variants of coronary anatomy. Widespread use of coronary CT angiography has made it possible to diagnose these variants with increasing incidence. We report two cases of single right coronary trunk with different anatomic course of the left coronary artery; one anterior to the main pulmonary artery and the second between the main pulmonary artery ...
