Successful percutaneous coronary intervention for severe stenosis of an anomalous left coronary artery originating from the proximal right coronary artery

J Invasive Cardiol. 2006 May;18(5):E154-6.

Abstract

An isolated, single coronary artery is a rare congenital anomaly with an incidence of 0.03% to 0.4% and an uncommon finding (0.6% to 1.3%) in patients undergoing coronary angiography. In this report we describe a rare case of a patient who had an anomaly of the left and right coronary arteries with a single coronary ostium in the right sinus of Valsalva, in which percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was successfully performed in both arteries.
