An anomalous coronary artery: bypass grafting based on CT angiography
Abstract:
This report illustrates a patient in whom coronary artery bypass grafting (C.A.B.G) was based on multi-row detector computerized tomography (MDCT) rather than coronary angiography. She had symptomatic ischaemic heart disease and an anomalous origin of her right coronary artery. Angiography of this vessel was not possible but MDCT contrast cardiac angiography defined the diseased right coronary artery, allowing an appropriate interventional therapeutic decision for C.A.B.G. to be made, with a successful clinical outcome.
