Post cath ECG: Now there are hyperacute T-waves again, and recurrent ST depression in V2 This ECG would normally diagnostic of OMI until proven otherwise No further troponins were measured, but it looks like there is recurrent OMI Next day: A CT Coronary Angiogram was done (CTCA) CARDIAC MORPHOLOGY AND FUNCTION: 1.

Abstract 4142716: Double Guiding Catheter Technique for Orbital Atherectomy in a Heavily Calcified Coronary Bifurcation Using Microcatheter Protection for Non-atherectomy Wire

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4142716-A4142716, November 12, 2024. Background:Heavily calcified coronary bifurcation lesions present significant challenges during percutaneous coronary intervention, particularly during atherectomy due to the risk of side branch occlusion from plaque shift.

Abstract 4142012: Ectasias of Multiple Coronary Arteries and a Coronary Cameral Fistula Between Right Coronary Artery and Coronary Sinus

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4142012-A4142012, November 12, 2024. Coronary angiography revealed a tortuous and extremely aneurysmal RCA, as well as multivessel coronary artery disease (mvCAD) involving LAD, D1, LCx, OM1. Notably, the LAD had multiple aneurysmal segments and areas of eccentric stenosis upto 90%.Multislice

Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. Left main? 3-vessel disease? No!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. Aortic angiogram did not reveal aortic dissection. Oxygen supply is determined by: 1) oxygen carrying capacity, 2) O2 saturation, and 3) Coronary flow.

The coronary angiogram revealed no critical stenosis, or acute plaque ulceration. Takotsubo should be a diagnosis of exclusion after angiography reveals no obstructive coronary disease, and repeat Echo displays left ventricular recovery. Circulation, Vol 137, No 11, 1192-94.
