Is The Left Main Angulated, Stenosed, or “Bent” by the Guiding Catheter?

Is The Left Main Angulated, Stenosed, or “Bent” by the Guiding Catheter? Exact angiographic and identification of significant stenosis of the left main coronary artery is imperative prior to performing elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. A patient is presented with an apparent angiographically significant, but physiologically insignificant, left main stenosis. Both angiographic and physiological methods of detecting “false positive and negative” left main stenoses are discussed.

Abstract

Exact angiographic and identification of significant stenosis of the left main coronary artery is imperative prior to performing elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. A patient is presented with an apparent angiographically significant, but physiologically insignificant, left main stenosis. Both angiographic and physiological methods of detecting “false positive and negative” left main stenoses are discussed. (J Interven Cardiol 1993; 6:165–168)
