angiogram

Avatar n tn He was undergone a Treadmill test, a few weeks ago and the Doctor observed borderline positive Treadmill Test and suggested an Angiography. He undergone Angiography a couple of days ago and the report said that the Right Coronary Artery is 100% blocked. According to the Cardiologist, who performed Angiography, the blockage is old. But, my father has no pain (Angina), no fatigue and other common symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease. He’s perfectly alright.
Avatar f tn Dominant vessel with patent stent to proximal Cx AV Cx has minor disease. OM1 has patent proximal stent. Minor disease proximal and distant to stent in OM. VG to OM2 and PDA are occluded. RCA: Non-dominant with minor proximal disease. Grafts Study:- LIMA to LAD: Patent with good flow VG to Diag1: Occluded. VG to OM2: Occluded. VG to PDA: Occluded.
Avatar f tn My Grandmother has been detected with a blockage in heart, and its not getting well by the use of medicines. Her Doctor is suggesting Angiography now. Her age is 81 by now. I wanted to take other Doctors opinion about this case.
Avatar f tn The PCA is a cath interventional procedure that will stent and open the LAD. The stent procedure could have been done at the time of the angiogram...did your physical condition/reaction at the time of the test prevent doing a stent implant at the time? No other problems indicated on the report. You may want to get an understanding regarding your passing out! You may have been overdosed or allergic to the dye, etc.
Avatar m tn blockages, and it appears to me you have two, they are extremely difficult to stent. The blockages occur at the Y and a stent tends to stick out into the main artery. Like the plumbing in your home, dirty or obstructed pipes tend to catch more crud. The LAD is a particularly dangerous place to have a blockage I'd suggest talking to the surgeon and discuss his/her history, and if satisfied, trust the doctor's judgement.
Avatar m tn My father(68) has undergone Coronary Angiography on 03-Mar-16. Report as mentioned below: LMCA - Free of disease LAD - 70% stenosis extending into origin of small D1 LCX - Co-dominant vessel with OM2 and distal LCX 50% bifurcation disease. OM1 large vessel with mid segment 70% stenosis. RCA - Co-dominant and distal disease after crux tubular 90% stenosis. He is both diabetic and has hypertension. Also note that during the Angiography he suffered a mild stroke.

Avatar n tn But she was moving fine, until 2 weeks back she had Angina attack and we got her Angiography done yesterday which revealed that her one of the artery is blocked over 90% near the beginning. Docs recommend her to go for Stent implant. Now seeing her past history of ASD,and low platelets count. Would you recommend to go for it or not? Any risks involved in that?
Avatar f tn The gold standard is coronary angiography. I think you should undergo coronary angiography after the excision biopsy as you’ll also be assured if the coronary angiography comes out to be normal. I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind Regards.
Avatar n tn Her genral codition is now stable and doctor has now advice for angiography, kindly suggest whether we should go for angiography and depending upon result of it we should go for further process ( such as angioplasty and ByPass ) as my grand mother age is 78. Please suggest.
Avatar m tn Is it advisable to go for angiography check up as six years have passed post surgery? Are there any side effects after angiography? My physician has recommended Angiography check up as life of stent is normally 10 years .I shall be pleased to receive your recommendation and advise.
Avatar n tn Invasive bypass, stents are not always sure shot as their might be a case of rejected grafts,clot formation in stents. What's best is EECP. with AMT. Try that and doctors not into EECP would always advise Bypass. If you want highly inexpensive but best EECP treatment then you might try taking free telephonic advice on randhawahospital.com Best wishes.
Avatar m tn To do this a stent is placed . It is threaded through a cathether from the wrist or from the groin area. The stent is put in during angiography, so the cardiologist can see on screen whats happening in the artery and allowing them to see the blockage and then the increased blood flow result after the stent goes in ! This generally sorts out that particular blockage. So it seems your Dad has had a stenting procedure previously?
Avatar m tn after 2 days my father was discharged from there and he stayed well for almost 7 to 8 days so fit and so well no problems ... we assisted him throughout those days for better recovery then suddenly 29th sep by father had sudden heart pain breathing problem his face became abnormal, dizzy etc ... his urine was blocked totally .. we took him immediately to the hospital nearest one ..

Avatar m tn With cath, the cardiologist can do a stent implant during the procedure. With a CT scan, there is a possibility of stent implant cath procedure subsequently. If your wife has symptoms that can't be managed with medication, then the cath procedure would be appropriate. Thanks for sharing, and if you have any further questions you are welcome to post. Take care.
Avatar f tn t relieve symptoms, then a stent implant. Sometimes a stent implant is not an option due to location, etc. and a bypass may be the only option. I have a totally blocked LAD and 70% circumflex and have been on medication going on 6 years without any problems.
Avatar m tn CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY LEFT MAIN - :is normal LAD - is a type 3 vessel shows 90% proximal discrete stenosis With slow flow distally.D1 & D2 appears normal. LCX -: non-dominant vessel shows 50% stenosis in its distal segment. sizeable high OM shows 70% stenosis in its proximal segment. RCA -: dominant vessel showing proximal 50%long plaque.
Avatar f tn hey.My father had a heart attack months back.His 1 artery was blocked and the docter advised a bypass pass surgery.after the surgery he was continually complaining of severe pain..his surgeon asked him to go for an angiography.after the angiography the doctor said that the surgery didnt work and the blockege is there he needs a stent to fix it...The angioplasty didn't work and the stent slipped from the doctors hands.now the doctors are saying that he should undergo for bypass surgery again.
Avatar f tn Hi I am a 50 year old female who has already had left cartid endarterectomy in 2010 and have just recently had a stent for left circumflex coronary artery approximately 90% in severity. Upon reading my results I came across some information I don't understand in the reading it said mild diffuse disease in LAD but high grade stenosis. I understand that it means blockage of some degree but does this mean I have future issues to worry about?
Avatar m tn Thanks for sharing the information, Normal EF (ejection fraction) is 50 to 70%, and your father has acceptable amount of blood pumped into circulation with each heartbeat so the heart is functioning properly. There are some blockages that is said to be "tight". Usually there is a percentage of plaque buildup (stenosis) given. Mild iregularities, etc. is not very specific The choice your father has is whether to treat "tight" stenosis medically or a stent implant.
