A 77-year-old male presented with a recent posterior myocardial infarction for coronary angiography. This angiogram revealed a rare, previously unreported anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery distal to the first major diagonal branc
This is the first presentation of anomalous origin of right coronary artery (RCA) from mid-left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. A 77-year-old male was catheterized because of recent onset of fatigue during exertion. The LAD demonstrated 50-60% narrowing just proximal to the anomalous orig
Coronary angioplasty of tortuous anomalous coronary arteries can be technically challenging. We describe a successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of an anomalous right coronary artery after a failed previous attempt. The anatomic limitations of anomolous right coronary arte
