Fig. 1 A: Transthoracic echocardiography showing left ventricular enlargement and regurgitation of the mitral valve. B: Parasternal short-axis view of echocardiography demonstrates a left CASA (arrow) with stenosis of the main left coronary artery. C: Multiplanar reconstruction of MDCT revealing a left CASA (arrow) with an intramural course. D: Volume-rendered image of the heart shows the left coronary artery arising from the right sinus and coursing in an inter-arterial manner. LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle; LA, left atrium; AO, aorta; PA, pulmonary artery; RVOT, right ventricular outflow tract; SVC, superior vena cava.

Fig. 2 A: A right CASA (arrow) shown by transthoracic echocardiography. B: Multiplanar reconstruction of MDCT revealing the inter-arterial course of the right CASA (arrow). C: Volume-rendered image of a right CASA. D: MDCT (curved planar reconstruction) reveals no stenosis in the right coronary artery.
