Article Abstract
Right coronary artery-coronary sinus fistula is a very rare congenital anomaly in which a right coronary artery fistula drains into the right atrium, right ventricle, or pulmonary artery. A right coronary artery-coronary sinus fistula was diagnosed in a 44-year-old man by three-dimensional echocardiography and confirmed by computed tomography angiography and surgery. Relevant published experience in diagnosing this kind of anomaly is summarized.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess safety and efficiency of multiarterial coronary bypass grafting using bilateral internal thoracic arteries in T-graft technique performed by trainees.
Methods: Patients from January 2005 to February 2023 who had undergone multiarterial coronary bypass grafting using bilateral internal thoracic arteries in T-graft technique were analysed. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the primary surgeon: consultant and trainees.

Objective: This study evaluates the efficacy of Snap-Shot Freeze (SSF) technology combined with optimized contrast medium (CM) injection protocols in Triple-Rule-Out (TRO) computed tomography angiography (CTA) using 64-channel multi-slice CT (MSCT) for diagnosing acute chest pain (ACP).
Materials And Methods: A total of 111 patients presenting with ACP were enrolled and divided into two groups: Group 1 (23 patients) underwent TRO CTA using 64-channel MSCT with SSF technology, while the control group (88 patients) which was further divided into three cohorts underwent specific site CTA scans. Quantitative metrics such as CT values, standard deviation (SD), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were calculated for pulmonary artery, coronary arteries, and aortic imaging.

Article Synopsis
- Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is linked to poorer outcomes in patients with ischemic heart disease, and this study examines its relationship with coronary collateral development and 5-year survival rates after chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- The study involved 58 patients, including 21 with RAS and 37 without, finding that RAS patients had significantly worse collateral development and a lower survival rate over five years.
- The analysis showed that both age and RAS were key predictors of survival, confirming that RAS patients experience a higher risk of death post-CTO PCI, possibly due to inadequate collateral development.

Coronary arteries have a wide range of anatomical variability, and their spectrum ranges from asymptomatic cases to those predisposed to hemodynamic compromise or even sudden cardiac death. This paper aims to review the classification of coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) and illustrate their imaging characteristics by highlighting the important role of CT coronary angiography. Some of the coronary anomalies usually met in current practice are the high origin coronary artery, multiple ostia, aberrant origin from the opposite/non-coronary Valsalva sinus, single coronary artery, ALCAPA syndrome, duplications of the left anterior descending artery, coronary fistulas, and extracardiac terminations.
