Figure 1.

Coronary angiography at the time of anterior myocardial infarction (left panel) and a 24 months follow-up (right panel). The left coronary artery is shown in the upper part of both panels whereas the right coronary artery in shown in the lower part. In the 2005 coronary angiography a thrombotic occlusion of the left anterior descending artery is marked by the white arrow (in the frame the angiographic result after 2 drug-eluting-stents [DES] implantations). In the 2007 coronary angiography a wide stent patency is shown, whereas a critical stenosis on the middle right coronary artery is marked by the black arrow (in the frame the angiographic result after 1 DES implantation).
