Abstract

A 78 year old diabetic male who was a case of chronic stable angina had undergone coronary arterial angiogram 4 months back. He was diagnosed as a case of triple vessel disease and had undergone CABG about 3 months back. 1 arterial [Left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending (LAD)] and 3 venous grafts [to diagonal, obtuse marginal (OM) and right coronary artery (RCA)] were used for CABG.

Highlights

  • A 78 year old diabetic male who was a case of chronic stable angina had undergone coronary arterial angiogram 4 months back

  • He was diagnosed as a case of triple vessel disease and had undergone CABG about 3 months back. 1 arterial [Left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending (LAD)] and 3 venous grafts [to diagonal, obtuse marginal (OM) and right coronary artery (RCA)] were used for CABG

  • 3 If we plan for PCI, should we even attempt native vessel PCI of RCA in this patient or should we directly plan for PCI to Saphenous Venous Graft (SVG) to RCA?

Summary

Introduction

A 78 year old diabetic male who was a case of chronic stable angina had undergone coronary arterial angiogram 4 months back. He was diagnosed as a case of triple vessel disease and had undergone CABG about 3 months back. We did a coronary arterial angiogram of native and graft vessels (Figures 1-6) which shows proximal LAD 95-99% lesion, proximal RCA 100 %, proximal OM 1 50% lesion, proximal to mid SVG to RCA long segment lesion 95 % ( TIMI 2 flow) , variable degree of stenosis of the other graft-native vessel anastomotic points.
