Sometimes, achieving the best outcome demands more gadgets for precise optimisation.

Right-sided aortic arch is a rare congenital vascular anomaly in which the aortic arch courses to the right side of the trachea instead of the normal left-sided orientation. Its incidence is approximately 0.05–0.1% in the general population.

In this case, the anomaly was encountered incidentally during routine coronary angiography in a left-sided heart. Despite the unusual catheter course, coronary engagement and angioplasty were performed smoothly without significant procedural difficulty.

This video highlights:
• Fluoroscopic appearance of a right-sided aortic arch
• Catheter course during coronary angiography
• Cath lab recognition of vascular anatomical variants
• Importance of awareness and procedural adaptability

A valuable educational case for cardiovascular technologists, cath lab professionals, and interventional cardiology teams.

SCAD Therapy in the Cath Lab

Patient Profile:
- 65-Year-Old Cooperative Lady
- Dyspnoea Class-III
- ⁠TMT Positive
- ⁠Hypertensive
- ⁠RV Hypertrophy
- ⁠Good LV & RV Function

A gentle, image-guided approach can make all the difference.

This case highlights IVUS-guided PTCA in Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD), emphasizing careful wiring, minimal contrast use, low-pressure strategy, and precise optimization for better patient outcomes.

From a cath lab technologist perspective, vigilance, preparation, and imaging support remain crucial in managing complex coronary interventions safely.

Think SCAD. Treat gently. Save myocardium.

SCAD awareness matters in every cath lab.

Not every MI is plaque rupture .. early recognition of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection can save myocardium, prevent unnecessary interventions, and improve patient outcomes.
