Coronary angiography, volume rendering and curved multiplanar reconstruction from MSCT of the coronary anomalies. (Panel A) Coronary Angiography (CAG) projection showing a Single Coronary Artery (SCA) arising from right sinus of Valsalva and dividing in right coronary artery (RCA) and Left Main (LM). Volume rendering (panel B and C) and Curved Multiplanar Reconstruction (panel D) from MSCT showed that LM turned posteriorly behind the aorta (non-malignant anomaly), reaching the atrio-ventricular groove where it divides into left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex (CX) arteries.

The right coronary artery (RCA) showed a normal course (Figure 1: panel A). In order to better define the origin and course of the single vessel, we performed a Multi Slices Computed Tomography (MSCT) (Figure 1: panels B, C and D) using a 64-detector-row scanner (Aquilion 64; Toshiba Medical System, Tokyo, Japan). MSCT showed a SCA arising from the right sinus Valsalva and dividing in RCA and Left Main (LM) (Figure 1: panel B,C and D).
