Abstract

A 65-year-old woman presented with an acute inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and was found to have a rare single coronary artery anomaly on coronary angiography. A complete occlusion at the mid right coronary artery was identified as the culprit lesion and underwent successful percutaneous revascularization with stenting. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Keywords: SCA, single coronary artery; ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; STEMI, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; congenital heart disease; single coronary artery.
