We report a case of primary angioplasty of right coronary artery (RCA) through right radial artery access in a patient with aberrant right subclavian artery (arteria lusoria) and anomalous origin of RCA. Major challenges in such cases are difficulty in hooking coronary ostia and getting enough support from the guide catheters. However, another challenge confronted in this patient was the anomalous origin of RCA from the left sinus. Herein, we discuss key aspects of management in this scenario. Arteria lusoria with anomalous RCA can be confronted during the transradial intervention. Use of an appropriate guide catheter to facilitate the procedure in this scenario can help interventionists to manage such a situation, and this can be a useful alternative in those patients with unfavorable transfemoral access along with this rare anomaly.
