Chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) remains one of the most technically challenging clinical scenarios in which to perform interventions. Although the antegrade approach is a general approach for CTO recanalization, a retrograde attempt improves the success rate and its usage has been increasingly adopted in recent years. Congenital coronary anomaly represents another technically challenging factor especially when accompanied with CTO lesions. We report the case of a 43-year-old man with no relevant cardiac history who presented for evaluation of exertional chest discomfort with palpitation. Coronary angiography revealed the existence of CTOs at just ostial of anomalously originating right coronary artery (RCA) with no angiographic ostial dimple in Valsalva sinus. Because it was not possible to engage with the antegrade guiding catheter (GC) at the inlet of the RCA, we decided to perform revascularization using the retrograde approach. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of such an anomalous RCA, which is chronically occluded, is difficult and is rarely described. Retrograde approach has been used to overcome the impossible placement of antegrade GC to RCA ostium. After successful CTO-PCI, his chest discomfort promptly disappeared.<Learning objective:Percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total coronary occlusion of anomalous origin of right coronary artery (RCA) patients is difficult and is rarely described.
