Left heart catheterization showed a total proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) occlusion (Figure 2A), while her other coronary arteries were normal. A successful balloon angioplasty, with two bare metal stents, was performed on the 100% lesion in the proximal LAD, and an excellent result was attained (Figure 2B).
