Thisvariation and encapsulated artery is known as myocardial bridging andtunneled artery, respectively (1).In autopsy and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) seriesmyocardial bridge segments were reported in ventricular muscle (2-6).Right atrial myocardial bridging with a tunneled artery embedded in themyocardium of the right atrium, is an extremely rare coronary anomaly,which has been reported only in a case previously (7).Herein, we report dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) coronary angiography findings of two unusual cases with right atrial coronary artery bridges, which were referred to our hospital with suspicionof coronary artery disease
