AB A  thorough  knowledge  of  normal  and  abnormal  coronary  anatomy  is  essential  for  the  interventional  cardiologist.  The  direct  application  of  this  knowledge  base  helps  in  the  selection  of  the  appropriate  catheter  for  coronary  engagement  in  both  diagnostic  and  intervention  procedures.  Knowledge  of  anatomy  also  facilitates  the  selection  and  interpretation  of  angiographic  views  during  cardiac  catheterization.  Finally,  because  interventional  therapy  may  be  needed  in  several  unusual  circumstances,  a  working  knowledge  of  coronary  artery  anomalies  is  also  essential.  This  chapter  addresses  coronary  artery  anatomy  and  related  technical  issues  pertinent  to  the  interventional  cardiologist.
