Anomalies of the Coronary Arteries

  • Chapter
Neonatal Heart Disease

Abstract

Congenital abnormalities of the coronary arteries may occur in isolation or in association with other congenital cardiovascular anomalies. Many classifications of congenital coronary artery lesions have been proposed [9, 28, 33, 56, 63, 71, 91, 92]. A very comprehensive review of the anatomy of normal and anomalous coronary arteries has recently been published by Angelini [4]. In this chapter, coronary arterial abnormalities will be described under the following categories:

  1. 1.

    Number and position of coronary arterial ostia from the aorta

  2. 2.

    Anomalies of origin and distribution of major epicardial branches

  3. 3.

    Abnormal communications between the coronary arteries, coronary veins and cardiac chambers

  4. 4.

    Congenital coronary arterial obstructive lesions

  5. 5.

    Coronary arterial aneurysms
