Coronary angiography shows there was triple vessel disease anomalous origin of RCA from mid part of LAD.Mid part of RCA shows tight stenosis which also contain thrombus. Successful PTCA stenting to RCA done with Amplatz left catheter which provide good backup support.

Keywords

 Anomalous origin of RCA, PTCA stenting to RCA, coronary Angioplasty of anomalous RCA.
