Abstract

As an example of some technical difficulties during the PTCA procedure in patients with coronary artery anomalies, we reported in this paper a successful angioplasty to a culprit lesion in the left circumflex artery in a patient with an anomalous origin of left main coronary artery which originated from the right sinus of Valsalva. We used FR4 guiding catheter for the cannulation of the left main coronary artery.
