A 60-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of dyspnea on exertion. He was diagnosed with heart failure due to an old myocardial infarction. Myocardial stress perfusion scintigraphy revealed inducible myocardial ischemia. Coronary angiography revealed hazy slit lesions in both the left anterior descending (LAD) and right coronary arteries (RCA). We first performed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on the LAD lesion. Subsequently, we performed PCI for the RCA lesion using multiple imaging modalities. We observed a lotus root-like appearance in both the LAD and RCA, and PCI was successful for both vessels. We describe this rare case in detail.
一名60岁男性因劳力性呼吸困难被转诊至我院。他因陈旧性心肌梗死被诊断为心力衰竭。心肌负荷灌注闪烁显像显示有诱发性心肌缺血。冠状动脉造影显示左前降支(LAD)和右冠状动脉(RCA)均有模糊的裂隙样病变。我们首先对LAD病变进行了经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)。随后,我们使用多种成像方式对RCA病变进行了PCI。我们在LAD和RCA中均观察到莲藕样外观,并且两支血管的PCI均获成功。我们详细描述了这一罕见病例。
