MDCT is an effective non-invasive imaging modality for accurately diagnosing and defining the three-dimensional course of rare coronary anomalies such as congenital left main atresia.
Kapetanopoulos et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Congenital left main atresia (n=1). Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) was evaluated on Diagnosis of congenital left main atresia. Multidetector computed tomography successfully identified the absence of the left coronary ostium and left main trunk, diagnosing congenital left main atresia in a 53-year-old female.
