Percutaneous coronary intervention of the left main trunk in congenitally anomalous single coronary artery

J Invasive Cardiol. 2001 Dec;13(12):808-9.

Abstract

Anomalous origin of the coronary arteries is infrequent and a single coronary artery is seen even less frequently. Accordingly, few reports have described percutaneous coronary interventions in this anomaly. We report successful balloon angioplasty and stenting of a left main trunk originating from the right coronary artery.
