Abstract
Anomalous coronary arteries with an inter-arterial course are associated with sudden cardiac death. We reported a study comparing the accuracy of fluoroscopic coronary angiography (FCA) with that of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography in determining the proximal course of anomalous coronary arteries. Twelve patients with thirteen anomalous coronary arteries had both FCA and MSCT coronary angiography were included in this study. Twelve cardiologists individually reviewed FCAs of anomalous coronary arteries and determined the proximal course of anomalous coronary arteries as retro-aortic, inter-arterial or ante-pulmonary. Their diagnoses were compared with MSCT coronary..
