Symptomatic Coronary Anomalies and Ischemia in Teenagers – Rare but Real

Three cases of teenagers with anomalous aortic origin of the coronary arteries (AAOCA) are presented with typical exercise induced symptoms (chest pain, syncope or dizziness). Using multimodal imaging, diagnoses was confirmed showing interarterial and/or intramural course of the coronary artery expl...
