Key result
Right radial PCI successfully treats the LAD despite challenging arteria lusoria anatomy.
Why the study?
Arteria lusoria poses a challenge in accessing the ascending aorta and cannulating coronary arteries during transradial coronary intervention.
Demonstrates that percutaneous coronary intervention via the right radial artery is feasible even in the presence of the anatomical variance arteria lusoria.
Supports right radial PCI feasibility in arteria lusoria; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Arteria lusoria is not a pleasant encounter during transradial approach for coronary intervention. Occurrence of this variance poses great challenge in accessing ascending aorta and cannulation of coronary arteries. We present a case report of successful percutaneous coronary angioplasty of Left anterior descending coronary artery via right radial artery in existence of arteria lusoria.

Isser et al. (2020) studied this question. Percutaneous coronary angioplasty of the left anterior descending artery via the right radial approach was successfully performed despite the challenging anatomical variance of arteria lusoria.
