Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of a right coronary artery arising from the left main coronary artery.
Angioplasty of anomalous coronary arteries presents unique technical challenges. Correct guiding catheter selection is important to ensure adequate access to the anomalous vessel and to provide support to cross the lesion. A case of successful PTCA of a lesion in an anomalous right coronary artery arising from the left main coronary artery is presented.
