Özet

The variants of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery are important in interpretation of coronary angiograms and in interventional procedures. The authors present a patient who had percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stent implantation to a presumed proximal LAD without the realization that dual LAD was present because of the total occlusion of the long LAD.
