POTENTIAL SOURCES OF ERROR IN CORONARY ARTERIOGRAPHY

II. IN INTERPRETATION OF THE STUDY

There are a number of potential sources of error in the interpretation of coronary anteriograms. These may occur as a result of superimposition of other arteries upon the left anterior descending artery, nondominance of the right coronary artery, variations in the distribution of the posterior descending artery, myocardial bridging, recanalization of arterial thrombi, and small vessel obstruction. These situations may contribute significantly to previously reported high rates of inaccuracy in the interpretation of coronary arteriograms.
