Coronary Angioplasty (Mr SA)

AT, a 55 year old female, underwent elective diagnostic coronary angiogram as a work up for renal transplantation. Her risk factors included obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure. She underwent a coronary angiogram with access through her right femoral artery with a 6F Impulse catheter. The test showed unobstructed (clean and opened) coronary arteries.

PD, a male aged 64, presented with exertional shortness of breath, absent of chest pain. His medical background included high blood pressure, high cholesterol and a family history of coronary artery disease. He was offered to have a coronary angiogram through the right radial artery (in the wrist) using a TIG 5F Diagnostic catheter. The test revealed moderate ostial posterior descending artery stenosis which was crossed with a Verrata wire and no change in the pressures across the lesions were shown.

PW, a female aged 51, was offered a diagnostic coronary angiogram as part of the protocol for a dialysed patient. Her past medical history included high blood pressure and end stage renal failure for which she had haemodialysis. She underwent a coronary angiogram through the right radial artery (in the wrist) using a TIG 5F Diagnostic catheter. The test revealed normal coronary arteries.

WS, a 43 year old male, presented with chest pain. His medical background included high blood pressure and smoking. He underwent a coronary angiogram through the right radial artery (in the wrist) using a TIG 5F Diagnostic catheter. The test revealed mild disease within the left anterior descending artery alongside some mild vessel spasm seen in the right coronary artery.

JR, a 62 year old male, presented with crescendo angina (increasing frequency of chest pain – acute coronary syndrome). His past medical background included chronic kidney disease, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, myocardial infarction (heart attack) and a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). He was offered a coronary angiogram through the right femoral artery. The test revealed significant disease within the right coronary artery. The lesion was predilated with the PT XS balloon (balloon angioplasty) and Resolute Onyx 3.5x26mm (stent) was implanted concluding with a good result.

AS, a 71 year old woman, came in with recurrent chest pain and shortness of breath. Her risk factors included high cholesterol, high blood pressure and family history of coronary artery disease. She was offered coronary angiogram which was accessed through the right radial artery (in the wrist) with a 5F TIG diagnostic catheter. The test showed no abnormalities.
