      • The basic rhythm was sinus with an average heart rate of 63 bpm and a range from 37 bpm – 128 bpm. Atrial fibrillation burden was 0%. There were 0 pauses of 3 seconds or longer. Supraventricular premature complexes were rare with rare couplets and rare triplets. There were 5 runs of supraventricular complexes up to 6 beats long. Premature ventricular complexes were rare with rare couplets and no triplets. There was 1, 4 beat run of ventricular tachycardia. No seconds or third degree heart block was detected. Patient trigger was activated during sinus rhythm.

      •  Severe atherosclerotic calcifications throughout all 3 coronary artery territories which limits evaluation of severity of luminal narrowing.
        There is likely multifocal luminal narrowing, most severe in the LAD distribution, mild in the left circumflex, and moderate in the right coronary artery.

  • INDICATIONS:
    Unstable Angina
  • Coronary angiography showed two vessel disease with a
  • 60% mid-LAD lesion (flow limiting, FFR .76 after adenosine) and
  • 70% mid-RCA lesion.
  • Successful PCI of the mid-LAD and mid-RCA with DES stents.
  • maintain on aspirin and plavix for a minimum of 3 months. If
    anticoagulation needed, would then treat with plavix and
    anticoagulant.CORONARY CIRCULATION:
    Co-dominant
    Left Main: Normal
    LAD:
    Mid LAD: Lesion 60 %
    LCX:
    Left Circ: Mild disease
    RCA:
    RCA: Lesion 70 %

    PROCEDURAL COMMENTS:
    Engaged left coronary with an XB 3.5 guide. Crossed LAD with a flow wire. Resting FFR was 0.90 and was .76 after IV adenosine.
