Stenting in a patient with a single coronary artery and myocardial infarction.
The single coronary artery is an uncommon congenital defect. We report on a patient admitted to our hospital with an acute myocardial infarction and a single coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva who was treated with coronary angioplasty and stent implantation. We have not found an identical report of stenting in such an anomaly in the medical literature.
