Here is a full read of your Coronary Angiogram (CAG) discharge document:
Discharge Document - Coronary Angiogram Report
Procedure Done: CAG (Coronary Angiogram)
Condition on Discharge: Stable
Route: Right Radial Artery (catheter inserted through the right wrist)
Coronary Artery Findings
| Vessel | Abbreviation | Finding |
|---|---|---|
| Left Main coronary artery | LM | Normal |
| Left Anterior Descending artery | LAD | Type III vessel, Normal |
| Left Circumflex artery | LCx | Non-dominant, Normal |
| Right Coronary Artery | RCA | Dominant, Normal |
Impression: Normal Coronaries
What This Means (Plain Language)
-
CAG via Right Radial Artery: A small catheter was passed through the right wrist (a common, minimally invasive approach) to inject dye into the heart arteries under X-ray.
-
Type III LAD: This is a normal anatomical variant - it simply means the LAD is long and wraps around the tip (apex) of the heart. It carries no disease significance.
-
RCA Dominant / LCx Non-dominant: In roughly 85% of the population, the Right Coronary Artery (RCA) is "dominant," meaning it supplies blood to the bottom and back walls of the heart. This is completely normal anatomy, not a disease finding.
-
Normal Coronaries (Impression): The most important finding - no blockages, no narrowings, and no significant coronary artery disease was found in any of the four major vessels examined.
Bottom line: This is a completely normal coronary angiogram. All arteries are open, healthy, and free of disease. The procedure was done safely through the wrist and the patient was discharged in stable condition.
