Unexpected result of percutaneous coronary intervention–two for the price of one

Anomalous coronary arteries are uncommon. This case illustrates an unusual result of percutaneous coronary intervention to the right coronary artery (RCA), where the circulation was also restored in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) territory via an anomalous vessel.
