Figure 1. 12 lead ECG showing ST elevations in anterior leads.
Figure 2. (A) Shows distal LM 80-90% calcified lesion. Proximal LAD
80-90% calcified. LCX is 70-80% calcified stenosis. (B) Before dye
injection, shows severe calcification of LM, LCX and proximal LAD
(tram-track appearance).
Figure 3. (A) Catheter engaged in Right Coronary sinus. Proximal RCA
70% stenosis and mid RCA 99% stenosis with TIMI II flow. (B) LCA
engaged with BL 3.0 guide and LAD wired with runthrough and 1.5 OTW. (C)
Runthrough swapped with rota floppy and LMS-LAD rotablated with 1.75
burr. (D) Stent placement LMS to LAD with 3.5 x 34 DES.
