“…Kyphoscoliosis or hunch back is a progressive deformity of the lateral and posterior spine curvatures, with an estimated prevalence of about 1 in 1000 people for 35˚ deformity angle and 1 in 10,000 people for >70˚ deformity angle [2] [3]. It occurs as a result of disruption of balance between structural and dynamic components or neuromuscular elements of the spine or the balance and the symmetry of the body as a whole.…”

Spine deformities have several associations with compromised cardiorespiratory function. Percutaneous coronary interventions rely on fluoroscopic anatomical landmarks to guide procedures, and distortion of the mediastinal soft tissue and skeletal anatomy in conditions like kyphoscoliosis can pose unique challenges for the interventional cardiologist. Here, we report a case of elderly kyphoscoliotic male patient with worsening angina, who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention via the radial route.
