Figure/Graphic 4a-c: MCDT - Computertomographie Male 72-year old patient with known coronary anomaly (RCX originates from right coronary sinus) and absent CAD. Patient presented with recurrent chestpain. Stress-ECG up to 250 W showed no signs of ischaemia. (a) LAO cranial view in Volume Rendering mode. (b) "Left posterior oblique"-view depicts the small distal RCX. (c) View from dorsal. Note the vessel caudal of the aortic bulb. The distal vessel is accompanied by a coronary vein, which runs cranial to the artery (arrow). Absence of signs indicating a stenotic CAD. |
