چکیده
INTRODUCTION The objective of this case report was to illustrate the diagnostic and intervention approach of anomalous right coronary artery (RCA). CLINICAL PICTURE A 60-year-old man presented with acute inferior myocardial infarction. Cardiac catheterisation revealed an anomalous RCA arising from the posterior coronary sinus as the infarct-related artery. TREATMENT Ad hoc percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation was performed using a few technical modifications. OUTCOME Good angiographic result was achieved within 90 minutes, with 260 mL of contrast used. CONCLUSION A high index of suspicion and logical diagnostic and intervention approach are required for the proper management of anomalous RCA.

Coronary angioplasty for in-stent restenosis in patient with anomalous single coronary artery arising from right sinus valsalva
Single coronary artery is a coincidental finding during coronary angiography or at autopsy. Although it is a rare condition and most of time has an asymptomatic clinic; prognosis varies. We would like to report a case about percutaneous coronary intervention in a patient who has anomalous single coronary artery arising from right sinus valsalva.
متن کاملClinical Implications of Congenital Absence of Circumflex Coronary Artery
Introduction: Coronary artery anomalies are rare clinical entities reported in 0.6% to 5.6% of diagnostic coronary angiographies. Anomalous origins of coronary arteries from distal segments are rarely reported. Presented herein is a coronary anomaly in which the circumflex artery (CX) originated as a continuation of the posterolateral branch of the right coronary artery (RCA) w...
متن کاملPrimary congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries and relation to atherosclerosis: an angiographic study in Lebanon
BACKGROUND Most coronary artery anomalies are congenital in origin. This study angiographically determined the prevalence of different forms of anomalous aortic origins of coronary anomalies and their anatomic variation in a selected adult Lebanese population. Correlation between these anomalies and stenotic coronary atherosclerotic disease was also investigated. METHODS 4650 coronary angiogr...
متن کاملMultivessel transradial percutaneous coronary angioplasty in a single coronary artery originating from the right sinus of Valsalva.
Percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with an anomalous coronary artery is technically challenging. Selective cannulation and coaxial positioning in the anomalous artery and optimum stability during the procedure are pivotal for successful completion of the procedure. Selection of the appropriate guide catheter is of paramount importance in these situations. In patients with congenital...
متن کاملA Novel Technique for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Anomalous Right Coronary Artery Arising from the Left Sinus of Valsalva.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for anomalous right coronary artery (RCA) arising from the left sinus of Valsalva (LSOV) is a technical challenge due to inadequate guiding catheter support to overcome the acute rightward course of the anomalous RCA. In this study we describe a novel technique for PCI for an anomalous RCA arising from the LSOV. METHODS Six patient cases wit...
