While SCA findings are often incidental and benign, understanding the origin, branching pattern, and course of the anomalous artery has implications in prognosis and treatment. This usually involves a combination of anatomic assessment with imaging such as coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA), Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA), and/or coronary angiography as well as functional assessment with invasive testing using tools like instantaneous wave-free ratio and intravascular ultrasound both at rest and with stress. Individualized treatment plans can then be made through a multidisciplinary approach involving adult congenital heart disease specialists and congenital cardiothoracic surgeons.
