title: Percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with anomalous origin of coronary artery.
abstract: Percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with anomalous origin of right coronary artery from left sinus of Valsalva was performed in Central Chest Institute during 2005-2009. The diagnosis of this type of congenital anomaly is always difficult, since it requires high operator's consideration and experience. Standard catheter curve desired for general coronary angiography is also not suitable for the abnormal origin of artery, especially when coronary intervention is to be performed. The authors report a series of these anomalous coronary patients with atherosclerotic disease who underwent transcatheter coronary intervention using Extra Backup left coronary guiding catheters, which help cannulation of the anomalous ostium and enhance the operation success.
