Abstract

The coronary arteries originate from the ascending aorta above the aortic valves as coronary ostia. Their variations can be correlated with various cardiovascular anomalies and morbidities which are therefore of clinical significance. Hence this study was undertaken to • To determine the number and location of coronary ostia • To compare the internal diameter of the coronary ostia. • To assess the distance of ostia from the sinotubular junction and from the floor of the sinus.
