Implication

Multimodality imaging identifies symptomatic AOCA variants; hypothesis-generating for risk stratification and management.

Structured PICO

Population

4 patients with anomalous origin of the coronary arteries (AOCA), including anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery, circumflex artery, left anterior descending artery, and circumflex artery with retroaortic trajectory

Intervention

Multiple imaging techniques including transthoracic echocardiogram and cardiac computed tomography

Outcome

Clinical manifestations and imaging assessment

Multiple imaging techniques, including transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography, are indispensable for assessing the varied patterns of anomalous origin of the coronary arteries.
