coronary artery calcium scoring (cacs) is a reasonable test for patients with the possibility of atherosclerosis. it can also be used for reclassifying the coronary artery disease (cad) to the high-risk status by higher cacs and subsequently modifying the management of the patients.the purpose of this study was to investigate the association of cacs to the severity of coronary artery disease in...

Compared to transfemoral coronary angiography (CAG), transradial CAG has been associ¬ated with less access site complications, shorter hospitalization, better patient comfort, and early mobilization. However, the use of radial in may also cause entry compli¬cations. Radial pseudoaneurysm after is a rare complication reported than 0.1% procedures. In this report, we present 78-year-old who was d...

Here, we present a case of 56-year-old man with acute myocardial infarction. The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at the left main bifurcation and mid-left anterior descending artery using drugeluting stents. Four months after PCI, was readmitted for cardiac arrest. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed stent thrombosis in main-toproximal in-stent restenosis circumflex a...

We report the case of a 51-year-old male with pectus excavatum (PEX) who presented stress-related chest pain as symptom acute non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed suspected single coronary artery (SCA) anatomy diffuse atherosclerotic narrowing, without evidence other ostia in aortic root. The diagnosis was confirmed on cardiac computed tomography (CCTA) SC...

Coronary artery anomalies are found in 0.6% to 1.55% of patients who undergo coronary artery radiographic tomography [1-5] and the increasing use of diagnostic coronary angiography (CAG) is uncovering even more such abnormalities. Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) from the right sinus of Valsalva is reported in 0.09% to 0.15% of cases [1-6]. Indeed, most coronary anomalie...

Survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have high mortality and morbidity. An acute coronary event is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death. For this reason, coronary angiography is an important diagnostic and treatment strategy for patients with postcardiac arrest. This study aimed to identify the correlation between postreturn of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) on an electro...

oronary angiography (CAG) is the gold standard for diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Of all patients referred for angiography, up to 20% have normal coronary arteries.1,2 Though noncoronary causes of chest pain may be identified in this population with normal coronaries, it has long been recognized that angina may still be present. An example of this is cardiovascular syndrome X, a co...

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) based on fractional flow reserve (FFRcath) measurement during invasive coronary angiography (CAG) results in improved patient outcome and reduced healthcare costs. FFR can now be computed non-invasively from standard coronary CT angiography (cCTA) scans (FFRCT). The purpose of this study is to determine the potential impact of non-invasive FFRCT on costs...

An 82-year old woman presented with chest pain and was diagnosed as having acute myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography (CAG) showed 90% stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD). The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention using a sirolimus-eluting stent (SES). A repeat CAG performed 6 months after SES implantation revealed no problems. Eight years later,...
