Abstract:
Anomalous right coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva is rare, but not protected from ather-osclerotic disease. Major factor determining successful angioplasty is the selection of the appropriate guiding catheter to provide optimal coaxial backup support. We report the first case of successful transradial stenting of an anomalous right coronary artery originating from the left sinus of Valsalva.
