Anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery with functional ischemia determined with fractional flow reserve derived from computed tomography

Clin Case Rep. 2018 May 15;6(7):1371-1372. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1582. eCollection 2018 Jul.

Abstract

A right coronary artery of anomalous origin is rare congenital anatomy that can be fatal. CT angiography is an excellent tool for its anatomical assessment. Noninvasive CT-based fractional flow reserve measurement can additionally evaluate the functional severity of coronary stenosis and is potentially useful for evaluating coronary anomalies.
