Abstract
Anomalies of the coronary arteries are paradoxically among the simplest and yet most difficult of subjects to understand in congenital heart disease. Disconcertingly, even the definition of what constitutes an "anomalous" vessel has been disputed in the past. In this chapter we discuss the definition and clinical presentation of common coronary anomalies. We take a look at the use of imaging, particular cardiovascular magentic resonance imaging, for understanding the significance and clinical impact of anomalies and make the case for a direct link between imaging findings and subsequent medical and surgical decision making.
