Introduction:

A case report describing the use of bio-absorbable vascular scaffolds in a patient with rare anomalous origin of right coronary artery.

Case report:

Male 71 years, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in the inferior region wall, thrombolysis with tenecteplase, with reperfusion criteria. Coronary angiography: left coronary system without angiographic lesions, right coronary artery with a significant lesion in the middle segment. An elective percutaneous coronary intervention was performed using 2 bio-absorbable vascular scaffolds (Absorb 3.5 x 28 mm joined in proximal segment with an Absorb 3.5 x 23 mm), posterior review with optical coherence tomography.

Results:

Discharged 24 hours later, remaining asymptomatic at 6 months follow-up.

Conclusion:

In this case, the significant stenosis of the artery involved was treated with the implantation of two bio-absorbable vascular scaffolds, obtaining an appropriate outcome after six months follow-up. This is the first report of a patient with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery treated with bio-absorbable vascular scaffolds in Mexico.
