Coronary artery tortuosity: Difference between revisions

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Rim Halaby, M.D. [2]

Overview

Tortuosity in coronary artery is characterized by one or more bends of 90° or more, or three or more bends of 45° to 90° proximal of the diseased segment.
