Abstract
Total occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery is usually characterized by ST-segment elevation in the anterior leads of the surface electrocardiogram. We report a case of a patient who had a persistently normal electrocardiogram throughout his hospitalization despite the angiographic findings of total occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery and no collateral vessels. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with stent placement was performed successfully.
