Zusammenfassung:Multidetector CT is becoming an alternative method for the diagnosis of coronary artery anomalies. We present the multidetector coronary CT angiography findings from a patient with right coronary artery duplication.

Their anatomical course was well depicted, and atherosclerosis was excluded based on the CT angiography findings.
