The detection of anomalous coronary arteries is likely to increase with increased availability and application of cardiac computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Once detected, the recommendation for surgical intervention on anomalous coronary arteries depends upon patient symptoms, the presence or absence of inducible ischemia on stress imaging, and high-risk anatomic features.
