Core Tip

Core tip: We describe an unusual case of an isolated right ventricular infarction caused by spontaneous proximal occlusion in the right ventricular branch of the right coronary artery (RCA), successfully treated by balloon angioplasty. Isolated right ventricular infarction (IRVI) is a rare presentation of occlusion of the right ventricular branch of the RCA. Most incidences of IRVI in the literature have been reported as complications to percutaneous intervention to the RCA.
