The technical experience reported in the literature concerning angioplasty in patients with anomalous origin of the left circumflex artery is limited. Balloon angioplasty seems to be a favorable approach for revascularization in these vessels, and major determinants of successful angioplasty are angiographic knowledge of their course and structure, appropriate selection of guiding catheter, and the possibility of advancing the balloon into the anomalous vessel. Five consecutive patients with severe atherosclerotic lesions on the anomalous left circumflex artery who underwent coronary angioplasty of the anomalous vessel are reported. Angiographic and clinical success were achieved in three patients with balloon alone and in one with stent implantation.
