1. CT coronary angiography curved planar reconstruction of the left anterior descending coronary artery showing an atherosclerotic plaque with calcified and non-calcified components.
CT coronary angiography curved planar reconstruction of the left anterior descending coronary artery showing an atherosclerotic plaque with calcified and non-calcified components. The location of this plaque, which spans the origin of the first diagonal vessel, can cause differences in segmental classification between observers as it could be classified as proximal left anterior descending artery, mid left anterior descending artery, or both.
