A member asked:
Can a lcx para ostial occlusion be stented in addition to small diagonal branches ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LCX para ostial occlusion be stented: Yes, but depends very much on the skills of the cardiologist. The diagonal is not the issue as supplies blood to a relatively small muscle mass of the hear. On the other hand the CFX , which is occluded, has developed collateral circulation, therefore is a protected artery. Some cardiologists in cases the CFX is very close to the LM, would refer to a surgeon. Talk to the surgeon how Confident he feels about doing the procedure using stent vs surgery. I would prefer the later. The best have a second opinion.
