[Recurrent restenosis after angioplasty of anomalous right coronary artery]. 1996

An anomalous right coronary artery underwent successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) but exercise-induced myocardial ischemia persisted. Moreover, recurrent restenosis were angiographically documented and treated by repeat PTCA. Post-PTCA large atheroma burden not appreciable by angiography, high take-off, and tangential origin of the vessel from the aorta may be some of the mechanisms involved in myocardial ischemia persistence and restenosis of the vessel.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
