Angiography : LMCA — 90-99% osteal stenosis. LCx — 50-69% stenosis of the 1st marginal branch; with 100% distal LCx occlusion. Cath findings shown above in Dr. Nossen's discussion confirm multi-vessel disease , including 90-99% osteal stenosis of the LMCA. The image shows the impella device in place.
