Segmental Coronary Arterial Anatomy
A classification scheme that divides the coronary arteries into segments based on specific anatomic structures and
arterial branches has been used during conventional coronary angiography for many years (10). This system has been
adopted by most centers that perform cardiac CT angiography. Use of a common nomenclature allows reproducibility of
results and facilitates accurate communication of the location of cardiac disease among physicians (Fig 8).
Left Coronary Artery.—The LCA extends from the ostium to its bi- or trifurcation.
LAD Artery.—The LAD artery is divided into proximal, middle, and distal portions. The proximal LAD artery extends
from the left main bifurcation to the origin of the first septal branch. The midportion of the LAD artery extends to the
point where the artery forms an acute angle, which may coincide with the origin of the second septal perforator. If this is
not the case, the middle and distal LAD artery are split at a distance halfway between the first septal perforator and the
apex of the heart. The apical segment represents the termination of the artery.
LCx Artery.—The LCx artery is divided into proximal and distal segments, based on the origin of the (usually large)
obtuse marginal branches. As mentioned earlier, the LCx artery variably gives rise to a posterolateral branch. In
addition, it may terminate as the PDA (described later).
Right Coronary Artery.—The proximal RCA extends from the ostium to a point halfway to the acute margin of the heart.
The mid-RCA represents the other half of that distance. The distal RCA courses along the posterior AV groove, from
the acute angle of the heart to the origin of the PDA.
