Left main coronary artery stenosis.
Between 1 January, 1989, and 28 April, 1990, a total of 888 selective coronary arteriographies were performed at the Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine in Prague. Of that number, 58 findings were assessed as at least 50% stenosis of the left main coronary artery (LCA). Having applied exclusion criteria, 50 patients (i.e., 5.63% of all those examined) were entered into a retrospect...
متن کاملLeft Main Coronary Artery Stenosis
A retrospective study was carried out in 114 unoperated and 197 operated patients having left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis 2 50%. Including the operative mortality of 9.1%, survival at seven years was significantly greater following pure aortocoronary bypass graft surgery, 77.5% as compared to 48.5% for the unoperated patients (P < 0.01). The surgical mortality was significantly less du...
متن کاملThe relation of ST segment deviations in 12-lead conventional Electrocardiogram, right and posterior leadswith the site of oc-clusion in acute inferior myocardial infarction
Background :In addition to diagnosing the acute myocardial infarction (MI), stratifying high-risk patients and proper treatment strategies are important issues in managing patients complaining of chest pain and suspecting MI. Many studies have been conducted to predict the occlusion site by interpreting the ST segment deviations in Electrocardiogram (ECG).Additional posterior and right precor...
متن کاملLeft main coronary artery stenosis; results of coronary bypass surgery.
Fifty-six patients with severe stenosis of the left main coronary artery underwent coronary bypass surgery between January 1970 and December 1971. All patients had angina pectoris. Seventy-five per cent of the patients had an unstable anginal pattern. There were six perioperative deaths for a surgical mortality of 10.7%. Of the 50 patients surviving surgery, 96% are alive from 12 to 36 months p...
متن کاملDiffuse precordial ST-segment elevation in inferior-right myocardial infarction.
A right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarction (MI) may yield precordial ST-segment elevation (STE). Accordingly, combined inferior and precordial STE may be produced during an inferior-RV MI. Such an electrocardiographic picture may be mistakenly regarded as showing wrapped left anterior descending artery (LADA) occlusion or double vessel occlusion. We present a patient with inferior-RV MI and...
