We present a case of a quadriplegic male who developed ventricular fibrillation associated with an anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery. Successful revascularization was achieved with percutaneous coronary intervention. This case highlights the application of an unconventional approach to resolve ischemia in a patient with prohibitive surgical risk.
