Diagonal : D1 Small Diseased
RAMUS: –
LCX: Proximal Tight Lesion
OMs: OM1 Diffuse Disease
RCA: Dominant, Proximal & Mid Diffuse Disease
LV ANGIO: Not done

CATH Diagnosis: CAD- Triple Vessel Disease
Advice: CABG

LAD: 99% lesion means there is barely any discernable flow of the Left Anterior Descending artery. That may go 100% blocked and you could lose 40% of your heart.

LCX very well blocked
RCA many lesions.

Yeah, triple CABG as soon as possible.

After my angiogram, with three mains at 99%, 99%, and 80%plus other diffuse disease, they operated on me the next morning. Putting this off would be a mistake, maybe fatal.

But if you are not having unstable angina. you can wait a bit longer.
