Angiography of the coronary artery after mid segment alcohol injection. Selective angiography of the left main coronary artery, of the left anterior descending along the anterior interventricular sulcus reaching the apex of the heart, of a diagonal coronary artery, and of the circumflex coronary artery along the atrioventricular groove (a). Embolization of the right coronary artery ostium with free coil (b). Angiography of the right coronary artery after mid segment alcohol injection (c). The contrast product injected after alcohol injection stagnates in the necrotic area thus achieving an aspect of myography.
