Three-dimensional volume rendering images. (A) The right coronary artery arises from the pulmonary trunk and passes to the right and inferiorly in the right atrioventricular groove. (B) There is a normal origin of the left coronary artery. Collateral vessels from LAD to inferior wall of the left ventricle are noted (white arrowheads). In neither the left nor right coronary artery, nor in their major branches, was luminal stenosis detected. LAD, left anterior descending artery; LCX, left circumflex artery; LM, left main stem; RCA, right coronary artery.
