Figure 2. (A) Coronary angiography revealed 99% stenosis in the left coronary artery (LCA) at the ostium of the left main coronary artery (LMT) (arrow). (B) Final contrast enhancement showed good stent dilation and no residual stenosis in the LCA. (C) Coronary angiography 1 week after the percutaneous coronary intervention of the patient’s LCA confirmed a collateral blood channel from the LCA to the right coronary artery, which was occluded at the ostium (arrow). (D) Aortography showed degree II aortic regurgitation.
