Figure 4 Distribution of HE Due to Occlusion of the LCX Artery
Three examples that illustrate the wide variability in HE location on CMR images (left panels) and the corresponding coronary anatomy by angiography before and after PCI (right panels). Yellow arrows point out the site of the occlusion. Case 1 is a focal lateral infarction due to occlusion of a second well-developed obtuse marginal branch. Case 2 is an inferior infarction following occlusion of a distal codominant LCX artery. Case 3 is an occlusion of a large marginal branch and distal embolization of a dominant LCX artery. As a result, HE extends from the basal anterolateral wall to the basal inferoseptal territory. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
