  • Title: Percutaneous revascularization of anomalous left main coronary artery stenosis with a retro-aortic course.
    Author: Routoulas T, Bratis K, Mavrogeni S, Smigadis N, Magoutas A, Sionis D.
    Journal: Acta Cardiol; 2013 Oct; 68(5):509-11. PubMed ID: 24283113.
    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.
