Communication between the Right and Circumflex Coronary Arteries Discovered Incidentally by Multidetector Computed Tomography

Abstract

Intercoronary communication is a rare congenital coronary anomaly. We present a case of a 48-year-old man with an incidentally discovered communication between the right and circumflex coronary arteries, who was admitted with chest tightness and exertional dyspnea. The initial diagnosis was made using electrocardiogram-gated multidetector computed tomography.
