Abstract

A 79-year-old woman had an atretic LIMA to LAD but without significant LAD stenosis, patent SVG to OM1, patent SVG to RCA, and severe tandem lesions in a very tortuous LCX for which she underwent PCI. Placement of a BMW coronary guidewire into the LCX resulted in the straightening of the vessel.
