title: Direct stenting in single coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva--a case report.
abstract: A patient with postinfarction angina was referred for coronary angiography. In addition to severe atherosclerotic coronary disease, which was responsible for clinical presentation, a single coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva was found. The authors report the use of direct coronary stent deployment without predilation to treat disease in this rare anomaly.
