Abstract: BACKGROUND Risk stratification in anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is challenged by the lack of a reliable method to detect myocardial ischemia. We prospectively studied the safety and feasibility of Dobutamine stress-cardiac… read more here.

Abstract: Diagnostic work-up of patients with an anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) includes an anatomical and functional assessment. The approach to functional evaluation currently varies widely and mainly includes noninvasive assessment. Intracoronary hemodynamic… read more here.

Abstract: Anomalous aortic origin of coronary arteries (AAOCA) with interarterial course poses life-threatening risks in pediatric patients, yet standardized preoperative imaging protocols remain limited. This study aims to establish a systematic echocardiographic framework for AAOCA diagnosis.… read more here.
