Clinical Information

Patient initials or Identifier Number

Mr. SD

Relevant Clinical History and Physical Exam

A 55-year-old-male patient with main complaint of chest pain in Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) 2-3. No history of hypertension. Blood pressure was found 130/89 mmHg, heart rate 75 bpm, respiratory rate 20 per minutes, and temperature 37¡É. No abnormalities found in physical axaminations.

Relevant Test Results Prior to Catheterization

Electrocardiographic (ECG) showed sinus rhythm 75 bpm with biphasic T wave in leads V1-V3, anteroseptal ischemia suggesting Wellens Syndrome type A. No elevated cardiac enzyme.

Relevant Catheterization Findings

Coronary angiogram showed normal left main, chronic total occlusion (CTO) in proximal segment of LAD, CTO in distal segment of left circumflex (LCX) with collateral bridging, and stenosis 70% in the proximal segment of right coronary artery.

Interventional Management

Procedural Step

Patient was underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the LAD. Pilot 50 wire was advanced successfully into distal LAD, predilatation with balloon 1.0 mm x10 mm, followed with monorail balloon 2.0 mm x 15 mm and DES 3.0 mm x 32 mm in proximal segment of LAD was implanted with TIMI 3 flow. Patient was given pharmacological treatment such as Clopidogrel 75 mg, Miniaspilet 320 mg, Atrovastatin 20 mg, Bisprolol 2.5 mg, and Nitrokaf 5 mg. The patient refused for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).

Case Summary

Coronary angiography and alsorevascularization are recommended in this case. The prognosis of this casewhich are managed with surgery or primary coronary intervention (PCI) is good,but if treatment is delayed or medical therapy is undertaken, the outcomes canlead to poor prognosis.
