Anomalous Origin of Right Coronary Artery from the Non-coronary Cusp Demonstrated by Echocardiography and CT Angiography

Abstract

Certain coronary anomalies have been associated with sudden cardiac death. Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the posterior non-coronary aortic cusp is exceedingly rare. Through multimodality imaging, we present a young female with an anomalous RCA arising from the non-coronary cusp. Given the unobstructed origin and benign course, no intervention was recommended.
