Angiogram
from a Patient with Acute Posterolateral Myocardial Infarction.
The left-hand panel shows a culprit lesion in the circumflex artery,characterized
by a long,scalloped,ulcerated, tight stenosis with haziness and ulceration
(solid arrows) and with a total occlusion located just distally (open
arrow).
The right-hand panel shows a cranial view of the left anterior descending
coronary artery in the same patient,demonstrating a complex ulcerated
stenosis with overhanging edges (arrows), anatomically remote from the
culprit occlusion in the circumflex artery.
