Sumario:Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of congenitally anomalous coronary arteries may be a technically challenging procedure. There is general belief that femoral approach is associated with better chances of coronary engagement and better guide support during PCI of anomalous coronary arteries. The following case supports that radial access is effective for PCI of an aberrant right coronary artery from the left sinus of Valsalva, even in an acute setting.
