Abstract

In an appropriate clinical setting, cardiac CT angiography (CCT) can be used as a safe and effective noninvasive imaging modality for defining coronary arterial anatomy by providing detailed three‐dimensional anatomic information that may be difficult to obtain with invasive coronary angiography (ICA). We present a patient where coronary angiography by ICA was unsuccessful and where the subsequent CCT proved to be very useful in providing us relevant information. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
