Document Details : Title: Percutaneous revascularization of anomalous left main coronary artery stenosis with a retro-aortic course Author(s): T. Routoulas , K. Bratis , S. Mavrogeni , N. Smigadis , A. Magoutas , D. Sionis Journal: Acta Cardiologica Volume: 68 Issue: 5 Date: 2013 Pages: 509-511 DOI: 10.2143/AC.68.5.2994475 Abstract : We described the rare case of a 54-year-old male patient with an anomalous left main coronary artery, originating from the right sinus with a retro-aortic course. A significant distal left main coronary artery (LM) atherosclerotic lesion was identified and a successful PCI with direct stenting was performed. Coronary artery abnormalities represent the most technically challenging cases for interventional cardiologists. However, in selected cases, a percutaneous intervention can offer an effective and safe therapeutic option. |
