Direct coronary stenting through the radial approach in an anomalous coronary artery

Indian Heart J. 2002 Jul-Aug;54(4):422-4.

Abstract

An anomalous origin of the coronary artery is an infrequent finding on coronary angiogram. Percutaneous coronary intervention may sometimes be difficult in such situations. We report two cases of anomalous coronary arteries in whom direct stenting was done via the radial approach.
