- Abstract
The article presents information about the evaluation of a retroaortic coronary artery using 2D and 3D echocardiography. The usefulness of 3D transthoracic echocardiography in evaluating the origin and course of coronary arteries is highlighted, and it is mentioned that coronary angiotomography is the method of choice to confirm the diagnosis. A case study of a 69-year-old female patient with a retroaortic circumflex coronary artery is presented, but without evidence of ischemia during exercise. The study concludes that 3D transthoracic echocardiography could complement 2D echocardiography as an initial diagnostic tool.
