[Primary angioplasty in a patient with acute inferior myocardial infarction: the unexpected trap].

Abstract

We report a case of acute inferior myocardial infarction caused by occlusion of an anomalous right coronary artery, successfully treated with primary angioplasty. When an anomalous origin of a coronary artery is suspected, it is crucial to perform aortic angiography or left ventriculography in multiple projections.
