Abstract
Coronary angioplasty of an anomalous coronary artery can be technicall y challenging because of difficulty in cannulating the aberrant vessel and in obtaining a stable guiding catheter position. Only three cases with the right coronary artery originating from the left sinus of Val salva were previously reported. We present a new case in which a succe ssful angioplasty was obtained using a Williams LR guiding catheter.
