Abstract: Coronary artery anomalies CAAs are congenital defects of the coronary arteries that can have significant clinical implications. This study aims to evaluate the incidence and prevalence of CAAs among patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome at Chengalpattu Medical College, who underwent coronary angiography between April 2022 and April 2023. Out of 803 patients, 12 1.49% were identified with coronary anomalies. The most common anomaly was the origin of the right coronary artery RCA from the left sinus, observed in 33.3% of cases. Other anomalies included RCA and left main coronary artery LMCA from the same ostium, double RCA, and coronary fistulas. Understanding these anomalies is crucial for determining their clinical significance and initiating appropriate management to prevent adverse outcomes like sudden cardiac death.
