2017
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are congenital variations of one or more of the coronary arteries and they are an uncommon but important cause of chest pain and, in some cases, sudden cardiac death. Anomalies of coronary arteries may be found incidentally in 0.3-1% of healthy individuals. The three types of coronary artery anomalies are anomalies of origin, anomalies of course and anomalies of termination. The purpose of our study was to estimate the frequency of CAAs in Canton Sarajevo, BH 25 cases to D1 and D2 and 49 to ramus intermedius), and 4 cases (0.43%) belongs to intraatrial course of RCA. Anomaly of termination presented with fistula between LCX and coronary sinus was found only in 1 case. CONCLUSION: Coronary CT angiography is an excellent tool for diagnosis of CAAs regarding origin, course and termination of the coronary arteries.
