title: Percutaneous coronary intervention of the left main trunk in congenitally anomalous single coronary artery.
abstract: Anomalous origin of the coronary arteries is infrequent and a single coronary artery is seen even less frequently. Accordingly, few reports have described percutaneous coronary interventions in this anomaly. We report successful balloon angioplasty and stenting of a left main trunk originating from the right coronary artery.
