LAD : Shows 80% discrete stenosis at its ostium, followed by 75% tubular stenosis in the proximal segment. Rest of the LAD is free of disease.
LCx: Shows plaque at its ostium and 60% long segment stenosis in the mid LCx OM1 is a large vessel with 70% stenosis in the mid segment.
RCA: Is a dominant artery and shows 50% stenosis distally and extending into the PD.PD branch shows 80% ostial stenosis.
LIMA/RIMA : Normal
LV Angio : Not done
Conclusion : Triple Vessel Disease.
