Left coronary angiogram in multiple projections

Left coronary angiogram in multiple projections

Left coronary angiogram in RAO caudal view showing the left main coronary artery, left anterior descending coronary artery, and left circumflex coronary artery. Obtuse marginal branch of LCX is also seen.

Left coronary angiogram in PA cranial view showing a proximal plaque in LAD, in this case a recanalized vessel after anterior wall myocardial infarction. Septal and diagonal branches of LAD are also seen.

The plaque is seen in this view also.

Please note that the plaque is not seen well in this view. That explains the need for taking coronary angiograms in multiple projections.
