She acknowledged being “very lucky” because a 100% LAD clogged artery can cause a massive heart attack often called a “widow-maker” due to its low survival rate — but they pose a huge ...

The presence of significant stenoses (asterisk) in the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) and intermediate branch (IM) could be confirmed by conventional angiography.

Introduction. Coronary artery disease (CAD) involving the proximal left anterior descending artery (P-LAD) is considered a high-risk lesion for adverse outcomes in light of the large area of the ...

TCT 671: Evaluation of Coronary Tortuosity in Patients With Ischemia and No Coronary Artery Disease: Insights From the DISCOVER INOCA Multicenter Registry Receive the the latest news, research, and ...

After the left main, the most important coronary artery is the left anterior descending (LAD), because it subtends the greatest proportion of myocardium. Disease in its proximal part confers the ...

Using the right femoral artery, clinicians implanted an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), and were able to place a workhorse wire in the distal lumen of the LAD, thus restoring blood flow into the ...

Angiotomography - Multivessel woven coronary artery disease. A) Woven coronary disease affecting LAD on its proximal and middle thirds, proximal Dg. B) LAD affected on its proximal third and total ...

Inflammation in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) may contribute to coronary atherosclerosis. Myocardial bridge is a congenital anomaly in which the left anterior descending coronary artery takes a ...

Case 1: left CAG showed a huge aneurysm with calcification of the proximal left coronary artery, and the LAD is obstructed at the outflow of the aneurysm (red arrowhead), and the blood is supplied by ...

They used an inflatable pneumatic cuff occluder positioned around the artery to create 30%, 50% and 70% narrowing of the proximal LAD artery. Power-Doppler volumes overlaid on anatomical B-mode ...
