Vascular variations coronary arteries
Summary:
Recent technical advances in computed tomography have improved image quality,
diagnostic performance and accuracy of coronary CT angiography. Reporters
should, therefore, have knowledge of the normal coronary artery anatomy and
variations, and understand the different types of coronary artery anomalies and
their respective prognostic implications in order to provide correct diagnosis
and to prevent undesirable mistakes during interventional and surgical
procedures. Until today, there is none original or a review article that
summarizes all the Coronary artery anomalies together. In this review,
therefore, it is done an effort of summarizing of these anomalies and their
features. Coronary artery anomalies are a diverse group of congenital disorders
whose manifestations and pathophysiological mechanisms are highly variable. The
subject of CAAs is undergoing profound evolutionary changes related to the
definition, morphogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, prognosis,
and treatment of these anomalies. To be competent to advise CAA carriers,
especially in the context of sporting or military activities, cardiologists
should undergo specific training in these disorders.
