Distal Embolization

Shown below is a pre-intervention angiogram with occlusion at the proximal left circumflex artery.

Shown below is an angiogram with ongoing intervention on the significant lesion described above.

Shown below is a post-intervention angiogram with filling defect in the mid left circumflex artery distal to the site of intervention due to distal embolization.
