Title: The value of multi-slice spiral CT in detecting coronary artery origin anomalies
Abstract: Aim:To explore the value of multi-slice spiral CT Coronary angiography in diagnosis of coronary artery origin anomalies.Methods: Retrospective analysis 64-slice or 256-slice spiral CT coronary angiography data of 9052 patients,All cases were used volume rendering(VR),multiplanar reformation(MPR),curved planar reformation(CPR),Maximum intensity projection(MIP),then observed the origin,travel and the lumen of coronary artery.Results: Nine thousands and fifty-two cases of coronary angiography were check 40 cases of CAOA patients(42 supports of coronary artery abnormalities),the detection rate of 0.44%,including the right coronary artery originating from right coronary sinus 26 cases(Concurrent 1 case of high openings of left coronary artery),high level openings in 2 cases;The left coronary artery originated in 2 cases of the main pulmonary artery;left main coronary artery originated from the right coronary sinus 1 cases;LCX originated in the right coronary sinus in 6 cases(Concurrent 1 case of high openings of left anterior descending artery,LAD),the origin of the right coronary artery proximal 1 cases;LAD originated from the right coronary sinus in 1 case;LAD,LCX and intermediate branch separate origin of the left coronary sinus 1 cases.Abnormal coronary artery of the non-plaque stenosis 17 cases,there are 12 cases of plaque(stenosis n=5).Conclusion:Multi-slice spiral CT diagnosis of coronary artery origin is extremely intuitive,accurate,and VR is the best post-processing methods,while contributing to the success of the line catheter coronary angiography.
