Radionuclide evidence for reversible ischemia after percutaneous treatment of anomalous right coronary artery with dynamic compression by great vessels.
Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left sinus is a rare congenital anomaly, possibly related to myocardial ischemia by dynamic compression. We present a case of percutaneous treatment of this coronary anomaly resulting in regression of inducible ischemia, as demonstrated by radionuclide scintigraphy.
