A patient with unstable angina and without abnormal electrocardiographic findings and total occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery

Koroner kollateraller koroner anjiyografide görülebilir ve yeterli kan akımını sağlamak için damar yetersiz kaldığında önemli bir alternatif kaynak olarak görev alırlar. Biz sol ön inen koroner arteri tam tıkanmış, anstabil anginalı ve normal elektrokardiyografi bulgularına sahip bir hasta rapor ediyoruz.

Sol ön inen koroner arteri tam tıkalı, anormal elektrokardiyografi bulguları olmayan anstabil anginalı bir hasta

Coronary collaterals can be visualized on coronary angiography and they potentially offer an important alternative source of blood supply when the original vessel fails to provide sufficient blood. We report a patient with unstable angina and normal electrocardiography and total occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery.
