Özet
To date, technical experience reported in the literature is very limited on angioplasty in patients with anomalous coronary arteries. Balloon angioplasty may be a more favorable approach for revascularization in these vessels. A major factor is selection of the guiding catheter. The authors report 4 patients with severe atherosclerotic lesions of anomalous coronary arteries who underwent coronary angioplasty of the anomalous vessel. Three patients had an anomalous circumflex artery and 1 had an anomalous right coronary artery. Angiographic and clinical success were achieved in 3 patients.
