Also, a useful algorithm has been developed that deals with variables such as female gender, age, anterior infarction, LAD occlusions, stent placement, and the use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa agents.

In this case, we used two, overlapping stents in the LAD and the Left main, which were of different sizes and diameters, and they were optimized at high pressures to different diameters ...

The LAD supplies more than half of the heart’s ... and almost always insert a stent—a tiny, mesh-like device that holds the artery open and maintains proper blood flow. Dr. Basit notes ...
