79 year-old
male with atypical chest symptoms, negative stress test. Given the patient's
atypical symptoms and high calcium score on CT coronary screening, a coronary
CT angiogram was done. This revealed diffuse disease of the left anterior
descending artery, with proximal and mid distal foci of pre-occlusive stenosis
found.
|
| |
|
The patient underwent elective coronary artery
catheterization, approximately one month later. The study verified the presence
of the diffuse left anterior descending artery disease, including the sites of
stenosis shown by CT coronary angiography.
|
| |
|
A coronary artery bypass graft was performed
urgently after the cardiac catheterization, due to the very slow flow
within the left anterior descending artery. A mammary graft to the
LAD was performed, the contractility of the heart was preserved.
|
| |
|
The patient had previously been on medication
for his hypercholesterolemia and hypertension.
