Abstract
Anomalous origin of the left anterior descending coronary artery from the r ight sinus of Valsalva has been described as a benign anomaly, Typically it takes one of two courses, intraseptal or prepulmonic (though pre-aortic an d retro-aortic courses also have been described). We describe the treatment of a patient with prepulmonic route and a malignant course before revascul arization. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 51:468-470, 2000. (C) 2000 Wiley- Liss, Inc.
