For LAD and LAD/diagonal bifurcation visualization the cranial views are most useful. Overall, if there is not a significant limitation on contrast utilization, standard 'around the world' angiography using a selection of the following angiographic views will document left coronary anatomy. RAO 20 …

Understand normal coronary anatomy Understand different imaging views/projections Understand how to optimize imaging (ie how do I see a lesion in the LAD better?) Interpret coronary angiograms: normal, normal variants, mild/moderate and severely diseased vessels, vessel occlusions AND bypass and LIMA angiography

Here, we present an overview of the radiological equipment used in angiography, details of the different projections and explain how to optimise images obtained during diagnostic coronary angiography.

For LAD and LAD/diagonal bifurcation visualization the cranial views are most useful. Overall, if there is not a significant limitation on contrast utilization, standard 'around the world' angiography using a selection of the following angiographic views will document left coronary anatomy. The Right coronary artery is engaged in the LAO position.

Initial angiographic imaging of the right coronary artery (RCA) in the left anterior oblique (LAO) position provides optimal view. Figure 1. Cranial views of the left coronary artery.

In this review, we have discussed the basic views of coronary angiography and a simplified step-by-step method of interpreting coronary angiograms relevant to cardiac surgery. The usefulness of left ventriculography and aortography has been discussed.

The online version of this chapter of “Tools & Techniques” will give practical advice for the choice of the appropriate angiographic view for diagnosis and percutaneous treatment of cardiovascular disease with particular emphasis on coronary artery disease.

The laboratory and catheters provide a platform for coronary intervention and revascularization. In this lesson, we will use three dimensional presentations of coronary anatomy to learn the most commonly used views for coronary angiography, ventriculography, and aortography.

Coronary angiography is the definitive “gold standard” clinical technique for evaluating coronary anatomy in many patients. It provides accurate information regarding the location and severity of coronary disease, anomalies, and correlation with clinical syndromes.
