Core Tip

Core Tip: We present three cases of secondary coronary artery ostial lesions. These lesions are rare and therefore easily neglected. A lack of awareness of secondary causes of coronary artery ostial lesions may lead to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. This case series helps clinicians by bringing attention to the possibility of secondary causes of coronary ostial lesions in clinic.
