Right ventricular outflow tract landing zone distance of ≤3 mm to a coronary artery, landing zone distance of ≤8 mm to the chest wall, and anomalous coronary arteries are associated with increased CC risk. Electrocardiogram gating may not be necessary if coronary arteries are opacified on CTAs. Larger studies are needed to explore and confirm these coronary artery compression risk factors.
