64 SLICE C. T. CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY
OBSERVATION :- Coronary CT Angiography was performed on 64 slice CT
rendered images. Poor imaging due to poor breath hold,
hence multiple step artifacts are noted.
CALCIUM SCORE :- LM - 0, LAD - 0, LCx - 0, RCA - 0. Total = 0.
LEFT CORONARY ARTERY
LM :- Normal
LAD :- Stent noted in proximal LAD. Stented segment show
calcific plaque causing moderate narrowing. Soft plque
noted in prestented LAD causing moderate narrowing.
Post stented segment also shows soft plaque causing
significant narrowing. Distal filling is not satisfactory.
D1 :- Normal
SEPTALS :- Normal
CIRCUMFLEX ARTERY :- Soft plaque noted in LCx causing moderate narrowing.
Rest of the LCx appear normal.
OBTUSE MARGINAL BRANCHES
OM1 :- Poor opacification.
OM2 :- Normal
RIGHT CORONARY ARTERY :- Normal
PDA :- Normal and arises from RCA.
scanner. Plain and post contrast images were obtained. The
study was reviewed in multiplanar reformatted and volume
COMMENT :- Total Calcium score = 0
Moderate and significant disease in LAD.

This report suggests that you have instent restenosis.the very fact that u underwent CT angio suggests that you have symptoms of angina.I strongly recommend that you should undergo cath angio and confirm degree of block in your LAD stent.depending on reports you may need further intervention or modification of medicines.my best wishes.
