The role of multi-slice computed tomography in diagnosis of anomalous origin of coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery
Main Article Content
Abstract
A cross-sectional descriptive study of 20 patients diagnosed with anomalous origin of coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery between 2014 to 2023 at Hanoi Heart Hospital. The results showed the mean age was 56 months old and a male to female ratio of 1.5:1. Out of 20 patiens, 16 were admitted with ALCAPA, 03 with ARCAPA and 01 with ALADAPA. 15 patients were admitted with anomalous origin of coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk, 05 with anomalous origin of coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery. Coronary collaterals were observed in 15/20 patients. Severe drop in ejection fraction affects 60% of individuals. Echocardiography accurately diagnosed 25% of cases. Anomalous origin of coronary artery arising from pulmonary artery is a rare congenital anomaly. MDCT is a non-invasive, and most dependable method to accurately diagnose this condition.
