This image is taken from the patient featured in our Teaching Series, AWMI. This shot shows the left anterior descending artery just after a stent has been placed and blood flow returned. There had been a 100% occlusion prior to the angioplasty. The circumflex and obtuse marginal arteries show evidence of severe coronary artery disease and multiple partial obstructions, and were also repaired.

Ventriculograms are often obtained during a cardiac cath procedure. A curved, or pigtail, catheter is inserted through the arterial access line into the aorta and then the left ventricle. Contrast is introduced into the left ventricle and the pumping function of the ventricle can be observed. The structure and function of the aorta and mitral valve may also be observed during this procedure.
