Abstract

Bronchial artery origins are subject to a wide range of anatomic variations, of which interventional radiologists should be aware. The authors report a patient with angina in whom an anomalous bronchial artery originated from the sinus node branch of the right coronary artery, causing a coronary steal phenomenon. The patient's symptom was successfully treated by transcatheter embolisation of the anomalous bronchial artery, which seems to be an effective alternative to surgery.
