Insights
A rare double right coronary artery anomaly was identified using Computed Tomography. Early recognition of this condition and its potential high-risk features is crucial for patient care.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Radiology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Coronary artery anomalies are uncommon congenital conditions affecting heart vasculature.
- A double right coronary artery is a rare variant requiring specific diagnostic considerations.
Observation:
- This case report details the identification of a double right coronary artery.
- Computed Tomography (CT) was utilized as the primary imaging modality.
- The case highlights the diagnostic capabilities of CT in visualizing complex coronary anatomy.
Findings:
- The study confirms Computed Tomography as an effective tool for diagnosing coronary anomalies.
- It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the double right coronary artery anomaly.
- Potential high-risk features associated with this anomaly are discussed.
Implications:
- Increased awareness among clinicians regarding this rare coronary anomaly.
- Improved diagnostic accuracy through advanced imaging techniques like CT.
- Potential for earlier identification and management of associated cardiovascular risks.
Abstract:
Double right coronary artery is a relatively rare coronary anomaly. In this case report we aim to increase awareness of the importance of recognizing such anomaly and a brief literature review of similar cases and possible high risk features. Computed Tomography is well recognized modality to detect coronary anomaly and in our case we demonstrated this as well.

Coronary Circulation
Coronary circulation begins at the base of the aorta, where two main arteries arise—the left and right coronary arteries. These arteries encircle the heart in the coronary sulcus and supply the...
