Angiographic classification of coronary artery lesions by ACC/AHA [
8].
| | Type A | Type B | Type C |
| Discrete
(length < 10 mm) | Tubular
(length 10–20 mm) | Diffuse
(length > 20 mm ) |
| | Concentric | Eccentric | — |
| | Readily accessible | Moderate tortuosity of proximal segment | Excessive tortuosity of proximal segment. |
| Nonangulated segment
(<45 degrees) | Moderate angulation
(45–90 degrees) | Extremely angulated
(>90 degrees) |
| | Smooth contour | Irregular contour | — |
| | Little or no calcification | Moderate or heavy calcification | Degenerated vein grafts with friable lesions |
| | Absence of thrombosis | Some thrombosis present | Total occlusion |
| | No ostial or major side branch involvement | Ostial or bifurcation lesions (requiring double guidewires) | Inability to protect major side branch |
| | Less than totally occlusive | Total occlusions < 3 months old | Total occlusions > 3 months old/bridging collaterals |
