- Abstract
Background Quadfurcation of single coronary artery (SCA) from the right is an extremely rare anomaly and acute coronary syndrome in such patients is catastrophic. Case summary We report a 56-year-old Bangladeshi male who presented with an acute inferior wall ST-elevation myocardial infarction. He was taken to the Cath lab for primary percutaneous coronary intervention which showed the presence of SCA arising from the right aortic sinus with multiple lesions including a bifurcation lesion. Percutaneous coronary intervention was done successfully in two sessions. Discussion Tackling multiple lesions in a case of SCA with quadfurcation was challenging especially in the setting of SCA and bifurcation lesions. This is first reported case of this kind.
