Abstract
|
|
|
|
The anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the main pulmonary artery has been rarely reported. We report a 63-year-old male with angina pectoris who was shown to have an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the main pulmonary artery. The abnormal origin was identified by conventional coronary angiography, but the abnormal course of the artery was precisely delineated by high resolution multi-slice computerized tomography. The patient underwent successful surgical correction of the anomalous vessel with complete resolution of symptoms.
