Publication: Optimizing a diagnostic tool: coronary computed tomography angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention of anomalous coronary artery presenting as an acute coronary syndrome
Int J Res Med Sci. 2022;10(11):2698-2701.DOI10.18203/2320-6012.ijrms20222881
Abstract
Anomalous coronary artery presenting with acute coronary syndrome is relatively rare. Achilles heel of percutaneous coronary intervention in a such patient is difficult cannulation of the culprit artery. Coronary CT angiography provides detailed information about the origin and course of the anomalous coronary artery. A few additional information like exit angle and orifice configuration provided exclusively by CT helps in appropriate hardware selection for angiographic success.
