ABSTRACT: Coronary artery anomalies (ANOCOR) are congenital anomalies with various anatomical forms. Percutaneous treatment can be offered in certain situations, most often to address associated atherosclerotic disease or, more rarely, to correct a congenital stenosis. Due to the frequent difficulties of catheterization, percutaneous coronary interventions for ANOCOR are recognized as complex procedures. A thorough anatomical understanding facilitates the identification of the connection site and the initial ectopic course of an ANOCOR during coronary angiography. Selecting an appropriate catheter is a crucial step in the procedure. There is a higher prevalence of atherosclerotic disease along retroaortic courses compared to other ectopic courses. When treating atherosclerotic stenosis downstream of an ectopic course, techniques typically used for complex coronary procedures can be helpful. While angioplasty for congenital stenosis is technically feasible, its role in management algorithms remains to be defined. Currently, this type of percutaneous treatment may be offered to right ANOCOR with interarterial course in adults over 35 years old and with ischemic symptoms or myocardial ischemia.
