Rotational Atherectomy and Stent Implantation for Calcified Left Main Lesions
BACKGROUND Left main coronary artery (LMCA) bifurcation and heavily calcified lesions are common and challenging to treat percutaneously. Rotational atherectomy (RA) may be beneficial in this setting to facilitate stent placement though direct supporting evidence is lacking. This study sought to analyze patients who underwent RA of the LMCA. METHODS Consecutive cases involving RA of the LMCA ...
متن کاملCongenItal Anomallous Origin of Left Anterior Descending Artery from RIight Coronary Artery
Congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries have been a known subject since the advent of cardiac angiography, and has been a subject of special interest by both cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, We have tried in this article to present a case of anomalous origin of LAD from RCA (RMT) in a 55 year old lady (Mrs. B.J.) and to completely discuss this subject. It's worthmentioning that thi...
متن کاملComplex made easy: left anterior descending artery trifurcation lesion completely treated with a single device.
Coronary trifurcation lesions are a complex subset of lesions. We present a case of a percutaneous intervention of a trifurcation lesion involving the left anterior descending artery and 2 diagonal branches completely treated with one single device, the novel stent-on-a-wire (SOAW) (Svelte Medical Systems), for the whole procedure. The SOAW is an all-in-one device with a bare cobalt-chrome sten...
متن کاملA Rare Case of Double Myocardial Bridges of the Left Anterior Descending Artery
Myocardial bridge is a benign congenital anomaly in which a segment of major epicardial coronary arteries descends into the myocardium for a variable distance. Myocardial bridge is most often single and located in the middle part of the left anterior descending artery. The presence of more than one myocardial bridge in coronary arteries is very rare. We present a patient with more than one myoc...
متن کاملAssociation Between Left Anterior Descending Artery Length with Coronary Artery Dominance: An Angiographic Study
Introduction: Although left anterior descending (LAD) artery supplies a large portion of the myocardium, the amount of blood supply provided by LAD is depended on the length of the LAD. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the association between coronary artery dominance and LAD anatomic types in patients with normal epicardial coronary arteries. Methods:...
