ABSTRACT
Purpose To investigate the association between the anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery (R-AAOCA) from the left coronary sinus with interarterial course (IAC) found at coronary CT angiography and sudden cardiac death using a large data set from five university hospitals. Materials and Methods From a total of 89 314 CCTA scans (January 2009 to December 2016) that were retrospectively collected, 316 patients with R-AAOCA from the left sinus with IAC were retrospectively collected. After excluding patients with less than 2 years of follow-up, patients who had already undergone cardiovascular surgery or intervention, and patients with arrhythmia or heart failure before undergoing coronary CT angiography, 224 patients were analyzed. Follow-up was terminated upon the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Logistic regression was used to identify clinical and radiologic information as independent predictors of MACE. Results The period prevalence of R-AAOCA from the left sinus with IAC was 0.354%. The mean age was 62.03 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 182134. During follow-up, 19 of 224 patients (8.5%) experienced MACE, but none had sudden cardiac death. Of these cases, only seven (3.13%) were suspected of being due to R-AAOCA from the left sinus with IAC and all of them had unstable angina. Coronary artery disease was significantly associated with MACE (P < .001), while no significant correlation was observed with radiologic features. Conclusion Sudden cardiac death was not associated with R-AAOCA from the left sinus with IAC found at coronary CT angiography. The occurrence of MACE was low, with coronary artery disease being the sole significant predictor of a patient's prognosis.
