To the Editor:
In the recent article by Drs. Ho and Strickman on the anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left coronary sinus, 1 only surgical procedures were listed as revascularization options. We would like to direct the reader's attention to our series of patients whose anomalous left and right coronary arteries were treated successfully with intracoronary stenting. This study was reported in the American Journal of Cardiology 2 two years ago.
