Chronic Total Occlusion Of The Left Main Coronary Artery In Patient With Ventricular Tachycardia

Chronic Total Occlusion Of The Left Main Coronary Artery In Patient With Ventricular Tachycardia

ABSTRACT: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is an extremely rare angiographic process which is described by lack of opacification of the LMCA in the absence of the antegrade blood flow to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and circumflex artery (LCx). We report a case of a patient with chronic totally occluded LMCA who was presented with ventricular tachycardia and heart failure
