We present the sequential diagnostic approach in a symptomatic patient with a right anomalous coronary artery and concomitant atherosclerotic disease. Using this approach, the patient could be deferred from guideline recommended open-heart surgery of the AAOCA, as direct invasive dobutamine/volume FFR revealed haemodynamic non-relevance of the anomalous segment after stenting the concomitant atherosclerotic stenosis in the distal segment within the same coronary artery.
