Özet:

 

Atherosclerosis is the name given to the buildup of cholesterol and fatty deposits or plaques in the coronary artery  walls. The coronary arteries become narrow and hardened, their elasticity disappears and it becomes difficult for  blood to flow through. The fatty plaques can also rupture, causing blood to clot around the rupture. Plaque ruptures  are a common cause of unstable angina pectoris  1 . Coronary artery reperfusion is commonly achieved by  intravenous administration of thrombolytic agents and mechanical recanalization  2 . An 85-year-old man was admitted to the coronary care unit with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. The  patient underwent coronary angiography showed totally occluded LAD  left anterior descendent coronary artery   before the first diagonal branch and right coronary artery  RCA . There was severe stenosis in ostial and proximal  part of circumflex artery  Cx   Fig.1 A-B . Retrograde TIMI grade-3 coronary collateral flow between the conus  branch of right coronary artery and proximal LAD  Fig.1 C-D , and retrograde TIMI grade-1 coronary collateral flow  between RCA and distal part of Cx. was demonstrated  Fig. 1B . The patient was referred to operation but he  refused.
