Compared with bare metal stents (BMS), drug-eluting stents (DES) significantly reduce the risk of restenosis and the subsequent need for revascularization.1 Stent thrombosis remains a serious complication with either BMS or DES, with an...

Coronary arteries originating from a single coronary ostium (CO) in the aorta, in the absence of congenital heart disease (CHD), are rare.1 In several large series, the incidence ranged from 0.024% to 0.066%.2–4 In 1979, Lipton et al proposed...
