PCI eliminates ischemia and prevents recurrent ventricular arrhythmias at 18 months in anomalous RCA.
Case Report (n=1)
PCI may be a safe and effective alternative to surgical revascularization for managing ischemia and ventricular arrhythmias in high-surgical-risk adult patients with an anomalous right coronary artery.

Supports PCI consideration in select high-surgical-risk anomalous RCA cases with ventricular arrhythmias; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before practice change.
We present a case of a quadriplegic male who developed ventricular fibrillation associated with an anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery. Successful revascularization was achieved with percutaneous coronary intervention. This case highlights the application of an unconventional approach to resolve ischemia in a patient with prohibitive surgical risk.

Saleh et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Ventricular fibrillation associated with anomalous right coronary artery (n=1). Percutaneous coronary intervention was evaluated on Recurrent ventricular arrhythmias or ICD discharges at 18 months. Percutaneous coronary intervention successfully resolved ischemia and prevented recurrent ventricular arrhythmias at 18 months in a high-surgical-risk patient with an anomalous right coronary artery.
