Abstract
The ectopic location and unusual coronary course of the anomalous right coronary artery (RCA) from the left sinus of Valsalva makes percutaneous coronary intervention difficult. In this report, we describe a case of successful stent implantation in an anomalous RCA performed using a 4.5F inner catheter with a 6F guiding catheter used in the mother and child system under the guidance of multislice computed tomography. This approach was found to be safe and feasible in cases involving anomalous coronary origin because of the excellent engagement and support provided by the guiding catheter.Entities:
