Anatomical variants and coronary anomalies detected by dual-source coronary computed tomography angiography in North-eastern Thailand [PDF]
Purpose: Congenital coronary anomalies are uncommon, with an incidence ranging from 0.17% in autopsy cases to 1.2% in angiographically evaluated cases. The recent development of dual-source coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) allows ...
