Percutaneous coronary artery stenting of an anomalous right coronary artery with high anterior takeoff using standard size 7 French left Judkins guiding catheters.

We describe 2 such cases in which standard size, 7 French, left Judkins guiding catheters allowed for successful percutaneous coronary intervention after many other guiding catheters had failed.
