Successful streptokinase treatment of a thrombosed, ectopic coronary artery: a case report

Early reperfusion of a thrombosed, ectopically arising coronary artery was accomplished by selective streptokinase infusion therapy. Familiarity with the most common variations of coronary artery orifices and/or divisions of major branches is important for the angiographer to ensure that selective c...
