Coronary Artery Disease is the leading killer all over the world. A 60-year-old male presented to the emergency department with central, crushing chest pain. He was immediately seen and assessed in emergency department and taken to Cardiac catherization laboratory.

Dr Yasir with the help of expert cardiac team performed a procedure called Angiogram via the right radial artery. The angiogram demonstrated a widow maker, a proximal LAD occlusion. An immediate procedure of Angioplasty was performed and the artery was unblocked.

The entire operation took less than half an hour, and in that brief time, blood flow was restored. The successful result demonstrated complete resolution of the symptom and the artery is open. The patient is doing very well and living a healthy life.
