Percutaneous coronary intervention in tortuous coronary arteries: associated complications and strategies to improve success.

abstract：:We discuss the case of a 61-year-old male patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and chest pain on exertion. Coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound revealed an intermediate stenosis in the proximal site of the left anterior descending artery, while Tc-99m myocardial scintigraphy revealed exercise-induced ...
