Stenting of a septal perforator for post-myocardial infarction angina

Indian Heart J. 2003 Jul-Aug;55(4):368-9.

Abstract

Occlusion of a septal perforator branch alone, without the involvement of the left anterior descending coronary artery, leading to acute myocardial infarction is unusual. We report a case in which an isolated severely stenotic thrombus-containing first septal artery causing intractable post-myocardial infarction angina was successfully dilated and stented.
