| Summary: | Aim. To assess diagnostic value of electron-beam computed tomography and multislice computed tomography
(EBT and MSCT) for diagnosis of congenital anomalies of coronary arteries (CA).
Material and methods. Non-invasive coronary angiography with EBT and MSCT has been performed
in 1162 patients.
Results. Different anomalies of coronary arteries have been found in 10 (0.9%) patients. Results of
EBT and MSCT agreed with those of coronary angiography performed in 8 cases with CA anomalies.
Though 720 of 1162 patients had coronary stenoses, no significant atherosclerotic lesions were found
in anomalous CA.
Conclusion. EBT and MSCT enable non-invasive screening and diagnosis of coronary arteries anomalies. |
