ABSTRACT: Chronic total
occlusion of an anomalous right coronary artery arising from left coronary sinus
is uncommon. We are describing a case of a 71 years old patient presented with
severe chest pain along with exertional dyspnea with an inferior wall
myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography showed anomalous right coronary
artery originating from left coronary sinus having chronic total occlusion in
proximal portion and normal left anterior descending artery and left circumflex
artery. We were successful in implanting the two stents at an occlusive region
with good angiographic results.
