Percutaneous coronary intervention of a totally occluded anomalous right coronary artery arising from the left sinus of valsalva with the use of multiple overlapping drug-eluting stents ("full-metal jacket" technique)

J Invasive Cardiol. 2007 Sep;19(9):E261-2.

Abstract

Coronary arterial anomalies occur in approximately 1% of the population, without other congenital cardiac malformations. We report our experience involving 1 patient who had a totally occluded anomalous right coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva which was successfully treated with the implantation of multiple overlapping drug-eluting stents ("full-metal jacket" technique).
