Anomalous Coronary Arteries: When to Follow-up, Risk Stratify, and Plan Intervention.

Autopsy series and population screening studies have recently provided useful clinical data on the prevalence and outcomes of coronary anomalies. Also, findings on coronary computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and invasive angiography, enriched with fractional flow reserve and intravascular ultrasound, have allowed identification of several high-risk features associated with specific coronary anomalies. Management of patients with anomalous coronary arteries requires an individualized approach based on clinical, physiological, and anatomic features. High-quality studies are paramount for further development of this fascinating field.
