Background: Anomalous coronary arteries pose unique challenges in coronary interventions. Case (Method & Results): Here, we report a case of use of the TIGER guiding catheter for percutaneous coronary intervention of an anomalous right coronary artery (RCA) with high anterior takeoff from trans-femoral approach, after multiple failed attempts to cannulate RCA with other catheters. Discussion (Conclusions): Unique shape of TIGER guiding catheter allowed coaxial engagement of anomalous RCA, adequate lesion assessment and stent delivery.
