TCTAP C-089 A Seemingly Easy Right Coronary Artery Lesion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Right atrium tumor – pseudoaneurysm of right coronary artery. A rare complication after percutaneous coronary intervention

The Effect of Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of the Right Coronary Artery on Right Ventricular Function

BACKGROUND Right Ventricular (RV) dysfunction has been introduced as a predictor of mortality in acute myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effect of right coronary revascularization on systolic and diastolic RV dysfunction. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was conducted on unstable angina patients who were candidate for elective Percutaneous Revascularizatio...

Percutaneous coronary intervention of a single coronary artery arising from the right sinus of Valsalva

Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva is extremely rare when not associated with other congenital cardiac anomalies. In this report we present a patient with a single coronary ostium, with both the left and right coronary artery systems arising from it. The right coronary artery was found to contain a significant flow-limiting lesion that was success...

Successful percutaneous coronary intervention for severe stenosis of a double right coronary artery.

Anomalies of the coronary arteries are uncommon and often asymptomatic. Double right coronary artery (RCA) is a very rare coronary anomaly. So far, the number of reported cases of double RCA is low. We describe a case of a 50-year-old female patient hospitalised with the diagnosis of unstable angina pectoris. RCA injection showed filling of two separately originating RCA, coursing towards the r...

Pseudo-lesions of a Tortuous Right Coronary Artery During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Accordion Phenomena

Guidewire-induced pseudo-lesions are referred to accordion phenomenon and are infrequent occurrences during percutaneous coronary intervention of tortuous coronary arteries. Their occurrence can be a diagnostic challenge to the interventionist and might lead to unnecessary intervention. Ischemia and hemodynamic compromise are possible complications, if not managed promptly. The differential dia...
