Anomalous origin of right coronary artery originating from ascending aorta: A case report
Keywords:
Anomalous origin, Right coronary artery, Ascending aorta, Computed tomography angiographyAbstract
Context: Coronary artery anomalies are rare disorders of coronary anatomy. The clinical
presentations are varying.
Objective: To present a case of the anomalous origin of right coronary artery originating from
ascending aorta.
Methods: Collect the data from coronary artery angiography.
Results: The right coronary artery originating from the ascending aorta in an asymptomatic
70-year-old female patient.
Conclusion: The anomalous origin of right coronary artery arising from ascending aortic wall
was presented. The patient was asymptomatic and the abnormality was accidentally found
from the coronary computed tomography angiography
