Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1.. Conservative management of woven coronary artery in LAD.
(A & B): Hazy border in proximal LAD; and (C–G): multiple twisted channels without traces of thrombosis or dissection flaps by performing OCT. LAD: left anterior descending; OCT: optical coherence tomography.
Figure 2.
Figure 2.. Partial revascularization of woven coronary artery in RCA.
(A): Woven shaped coronary artery in remote RCA followed by a severely local stenosis; (B): the angiogram post PCI; (C–E): the severe stenosis and the preceding multiple conduits; and (F & G): distally resolved stenosis and proximally residual WCA. PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention; RCA: right coronary artery; WCA: woven coronary artery.
Figure 3.
Figure 3.. Complete revascularization of woven coronary artery in RCA.
(A): Woven shaped coronary artery in proximal RCA followed by a segmental stenosis; (B): the distal stenosis was resolved after two stents implantation; (C–E): the severe stenosis and the preceding multiple conduits; and (F): the apposition of stent struts. RCA: right coronary artery.
