Anomalous Aortic Origin of the Right Coronary Artery Between the Right and Left Coronary Sinuses: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery (R-ACAOS) is a rare congenital anomaly associated with an increased risk of myocardial ischemia and, in some cases, sudden cardiac death, particularly when the anomalous artery follows an interarterial course between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. This report presents the case of a 71-year-old man with nocturnal palpitations and atypical chest discomfort as the main symptoms, without syncope. Holter monitoring revealed first- and second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) identified R-ACAOS with a short interarterial trajectory between the aorta and pulmonary arteries, with no significant ostial narrowing or other high-risk anatomical features. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) demonstrated inferior wall ischemia. The patient was referred to the cardiothoracic surgery department, where surgical unroofing was planned to eliminate potential dynamic compression and achieve complete symptom resolution. This case underscores the importance of prompt recognition of R-ACAOS, even in elderly patients, and highlights the crucial role of coordinated care between primary and specialized services. Comprehensive anatomical evaluation using CCTA or cardiac MRI is essential to assess risk and guide appropriate management. Surgical unroofing remains a reliable and effective intervention for symptomatic patients with interarterial R-ACAOS; thus, it was selected as the optimal therapeutic approach.
