In the largest reported series of patients, the overall angiographical incidence of congenital coronary anomalies was 1.3%. Among these anomalies, an isolated single coronary artery is a rare, congenital coronary anomaly with an incidence of 0.044-0.23%. In this kind of anomaly, the coronary arteries arise by a single coronary ostium in the right or left sinus of Valsalva. Percutaneous coronary revascularization plays an important role in the management of acute coronary syndrome, and coronary anomalies may determine a lower success rate of this intervention. We report two cases of isolated single coronary arteries who underwent successful coronary angioplasty and stenting for acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract
In the largest reported series of patients, the overall angiographical incidence of congenital coronary anomalies was 1.3%. Among these anomalies, an isolated single coronary artery is a rare, congenital coronary anomaly with an incidence of 0.044-0.23%. In this kind of anomaly, the coronary arteries arise by a single coronary ostium in the right or left sinus of Valsalva. Percutaneous coronary revascularization plays an important role in the management of acute coronary syndrome, and coronary anomalies may determine a lower success rate of this intervention. We report two cases of isolated single coronary arteries who underwent successful coronary angioplasty and stenting for acute coronary syndrome.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
