Introduction
Coronary angiography should be performed in standard views in orthogonal planes to visualize the lesion and serve as a roadmap for PCI
Goal: To expose the most by showing the least foreshortened coronary artery segment at an angulation that causes the lowest radiation to the operators and by the least no. of XR pictures needed

Any LM disease? • Problems: • Short LM, “deep seating”
of catheter inside LM • Pitfall: may miss an ostial
or LM lesion • Adequate reflux of
contrast back into aorta to ensure that an ostial lesion is not present
![Page 28: Coronary angiogram interpretation and easily missed findings KY Lo...Introduction Coronary angiography should be performed in standard views in orthogonal planes to visualize the lesion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6107f7ab9282d158af51cddf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Repeat angiogram after disengaging the catheter: any LM disease?
![Page 29: Coronary angiogram interpretation and easily missed findings KY Lo...Introduction Coronary angiography should be performed in standard views in orthogonal planes to visualize the lesion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6107f7ab9282d158af51cddf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Pitfalls of coronary angiogram: Lumen-o-gram
![Page 30: Coronary angiogram interpretation and easily missed findings KY Lo...Introduction Coronary angiography should be performed in standard views in orthogonal planes to visualize the lesion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6107f7ab9282d158af51cddf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pitfalls of coronary angiogram: Lumen-o-gram: how to solve it
• Multiple projections with different angles • Have a sense of caliber of major coronaries LMCA 4.5 ± 0.5mm LAD 3.7 ± 0.4mm LCx 3.0mm RCA 3.9 ± 0.6mm for dominant • Compare the size of target vessel with other segments • IVUS/OCT/functional study
![Page 31: Coronary angiogram interpretation and easily missed findings KY Lo...Introduction Coronary angiography should be performed in standard views in orthogonal planes to visualize the lesion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6107f7ab9282d158af51cddf/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Case 7. M/60, inf STEMI, PCI 24 hrs after successful lytics
![Page 32: Coronary angiogram interpretation and easily missed findings KY Lo...Introduction Coronary angiography should be performed in standard views in orthogonal planes to visualize the lesion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6107f7ab9282d158af51cddf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
A. Anomalous coronary artery origin
B. Coronary artery fistula C. Ostial LM disease D. Spontaneous coronary
artery dissection
![Page 33: Coronary angiogram interpretation and easily missed findings KY Lo...Introduction Coronary angiography should be performed in standard views in orthogonal planes to visualize the lesion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6107f7ab9282d158af51cddf/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Hints x absence of LCx artery: 1. When you see a
very long “left-main” segment
2. Part of the LV is not supplied by any vessels
3. RAO caudal view helpful
![Page 34: Coronary angiogram interpretation and easily missed findings KY Lo...Introduction Coronary angiography should be performed in standard views in orthogonal planes to visualize the lesion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6107f7ab9282d158af51cddf/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
When the LCx is absent…
• Total occlusion at the ostium
• Super-selective injection
• Anomalous LCx origin
--> what to do when suspect an anomalous LCx origin
![Page 35: Coronary angiogram interpretation and easily missed findings KY Lo...Introduction Coronary angiography should be performed in standard views in orthogonal planes to visualize the lesion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6107f7ab9282d158af51cddf/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Most of time you can find the LCx by non-selective injection at R cusp
• LCx (instead of RCA) was the IRA in this case
• Anomalous LCx origin is a benign variant
![Page 36: Coronary angiogram interpretation and easily missed findings KY Lo...Introduction Coronary angiography should be performed in standard views in orthogonal planes to visualize the lesion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6107f7ab9282d158af51cddf/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Case 8. F/45, no CV risk factors, NSTEMI, RCA normal
• Diagnosis?
• A. atherosclerotic coronary artery disease
• B. coronary artery spasm
• C. Myocardial bridging
• D. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection
![Page 37: Coronary angiogram interpretation and easily missed findings KY Lo...Introduction Coronary angiography should be performed in standard views in orthogonal planes to visualize the lesion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071412/6107f7ab9282d158af51cddf/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Hints for spontaneous coronary artery dissection
• 1. Clinical history – Young female patient – Absence of CV risk factors
• 2. Majority of case: long and diffuse narrowing on angiography due to intramural haematoma (dissection plane <30% of cases)
• 3. Absence of coronary artery disease in other vessels

Summary • Case 1 Which view is the best for PDA/PLV/dRCA
bifurcation? – AP cranial view • Case 2 Which view is ostial LAD/LCx / dLM
bifurcation – AP caudal view • Case 3 Ostial LM stenting – use bi-cranial view
(LAO 20 cranial 20) • Case 4 LAD/diagonal bifurcation -- Shallow LAD
cranial view

Summary
• Pitfalls in coronary angiogram interpretation – Deep seating of catheter may lead an operator to
miss an ostial / very proximal lesion
– Lumen-o-gram
– Anomalous LCx artery
• Interesting coronary angiograms: spontaneous coronary artery dissection, pericardial effusion
