Objective: To determine the prevalence of coronary anomalies (CA) in patients evaluated by 64-detector computed tomography (CT) at the Instituto Nacional Cardiovascular in Peru between 2016 and 2020. Materials and methods: Retrospective observational study, coronary artery CT scans of 1486 patients were performed on a 64-detector row CT scanner and reviewed in search for coronary anomalies. Results: The prevalence of CA detected by CT was 4.71% (70 cases) of which 64.3% were male. Abnormalities of origin were the most frequent, of which the origin of a coronary artery from the opposite coronary sinus was the most common (48.6%), with the right coronary being the main anomalous artery (31%), and the main path was interarterial (31%). Anomalous origin of the left main coronary from the pulmonary artery was found in 5 patients. Among the anomalies of the intrinsic coronary arterial anatomy ...

Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia de anomalías coronarias (AC) en pacientes evaluados por tomografía computarizada (TC) de 64 detectores en el Instituto Nacional Cardiovascular en el Perú entre los años 2016 a 2020. Materiales y métodos: estudio observacional retrospectivo, en el cual se revisaron las TC de arterias coronarias de 1486 pacientes, realizadas en un tomógrafo de 64 filas de detectores, en busca de anomalías coronarias. Resultados: la prevalencia de AC detectada por TC fue de 4,71% (70 casos) de ellos 64,3% varones. Las anomalías de origen fueron las más frecuentes, de ellas el nacimiento de una arteria coronaria desde el seno coronariano opuesto fue la más común (48,6%), siendo la coronaria derecha la principal arteria anómala (31%), y el principal trayecto fue el interarterial (31%). El origen anómalo del tronco coronario izquierdo desde la arteria pulmonar s...
