Primary coronary angioplasty with stenting for acute coronary syndrome in patients with isolated single coronary artery: a report of 2 cases

Jpn Heart J. 2003 Sep;44(5):759-65. doi: 10.1536/jhj.44.759.

Abstract

We report 2 cases with an isolated single coronary artery who underwent successful primary coronary intervention for acute coronary syndrome. Although coronary angioplasty with stenting may be a feasible therapeutic option for atherosclerotic stenosis in a single coronary artery, the operator should be aware of the potential risk of complications.
