An anomalous right coronary artery with an acute (<45°) take-off angle and inter-arterial course between a dilated ascending aorta and pulmonary artery was described and managed in clinical practice.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the clinical management of a rare congenital coronary anomaly involving an acute take-off angle and inter-arterial course.
Congenital coronary artery anomalies are rare but well-described causes of chest pain and, in some cases, link to sudden cardiac death. With the spread of advanced imaging techniques, the number of incidental findings is staggering, but little information has been given in order to rule out potential malignant cases in symptomatic adult patients. Here, we describe a case of an anomalous course of the coronary artery with an acute (<45°) take-off angle, as well as an inter-arterial course between a dilated ascending aorta and a dilated pulmonary artery, and how we could manage this patient in our clinical practice.
