Percutaneous coronary artery stenting of an anomalous right coronary artery with high anterior takeoff using standard size 7 French left Judkins guiding catheters

J Invasive Cardiol. 2003 Nov;15(11):682-4.

Abstract

The anomalous right coronary artery with high anterior takeoff is an uncommon and technically difficult vessel for interventions. We describe 2 such cases in which standard size, 7 French, left Judkins guiding catheters allowed for successful percutaneous coronary intervention after many other guiding catheters had failed.
