Abstract
We report a rare case of a 39-year-old male who presented with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction (IWMI). Coronary
angiography revealed an anomalous single coronary artery arising from the right coronary cusp. Premature atherosclerotic
coronary artery disease (CAD) with critical stenosis in the mid right coronary artery (RCA), proximal posterior left ventricular
(PLV) artery, and distal left circumflex (LCX) artery was detected during angiography. The patient managed successfully by
percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DESs) by radial approach.
