Coronary Angioplasty of an Anomalous Coronary Artery in the Elderly: Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Newer developments in biotechnology and increasing operator experience have broadened the clinical applicability of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. These advances have allowed the treatment of patients with variant and anomalous coronary arteries and the treatment of an increasingly elderly population. A case of successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in a 90-year-old man with unstable angina and an anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery is reported.
