Objective: To detect origin and course and to evaluate viability in patients with anomalous RCA.
Design: 3D coronary MR angiography and viability study using gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-MRI) was performed.
Setting: A tertiary hospital center.
Patients: Four patients, selected from the catheter lab, were studied.
Results: Anomalous RCA from the left sinus of Valsalva was identified in all patients. Inferior myocardial infarction was documented in three patients.
Conclusions: Magnetic resonance imaging can non-invasively identify anomalous RCA and perform viability study in the same examination.
