"PATIENT: Collins, Sean
Left coronary artery: The left main appeared to be mildly diseased at its origin. The left anterior descending artery appeared to be diffusely but mildly diseased proximally, with tapering of the luminal diameter of the vessel just proximal to the ***takeoff of the second diagonal branch***. A large first diagonal appeared to be narrowed at its origin and proximally by 50% to 70%, with several sequential areas of 50% to 75% narrowing. The small to moderately large second diagonal appeared to be mildly diseased. The origin of the circumflex artery appeared normal. The large first obtuse marginal demonstrated a 1.0-cm long, proximal 80% stenosis, with diffuse mild disease throughout the remainder of the vessel."
