When occluded, the circumflex coronary artery can cause a lateral myocardial infarction resulting in ST elevation in the lateral leads. The lateral ECG leads are considered lead V5-V6 and the ...

More tests showed that her left circumflex artery "had a 99% blockage." A piece of plaque that had built up in the artery had detached, blocking nearly all blood flow.

The left circumflex artery, usually smaller in diameter than the LAD, encircles the mitral valve within the atrioventricular groove. The left atrial appendages usually need to be removed to expose ...

The lateral femoral circumflex artery supplies oxygenated blood to the anterior (front) and middle portions of the thigh muscles. It typically branches off from the deep femoral artery, although ...

the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex artery. Together, the coronary arteries supply blood to the entire heart muscle. Each of the coronary arteries consists of different sections ...

Spontaneous coronary-artery dissection (SCAD) has emerged as an important cause of myocardial infarction in young persons. SCAD occurs primarily in women, and the prevalence of cardiovascular risk ...

Angiography was performed at one year in 440 patients: 8.2 percent of radial-artery grafts and 13.6 percent of saphenous-vein grafts were completely occluded (P=0.009).
