Intra‐Atrial Right Coronary Artery: A Condition Revealed by Coronary CT Scan

Abstract

Coronary artery anomalies are rare and may involve the coronary origin, course, or termination. Most are benign; however, some can lead to myocardial damage, sudden death, or potential hazards during interventional or surgical procedures. The advancement of imaging studies has led to an increase in their diagnosis. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) especially has characterized new anomalies that were previously anecdotal. This is the case of the intra‐atrial course of the right coronary artery. The present is a brief review about this rare congenital anomaly.
