Hi;
Widow-maker artery is an old synonim for LAD (Left anterior descending) artery. It is the most important coronary artery of the heart; and occlusion of this artery may have drastic consequences as can be understood by its synonim. Coronary angiograpy is the modality for imaging coronary arteries.
May you recover soon
