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 nor mal electrocardiogram throughout his hospitalization despite the angiograph ic findings of total occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary art ery and no collateral vessels. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplas ty with stent placement was performed successfully.
