A 71-year-old female with known unstable angina due to coronary artery disease.

H&P Patient is Tina LeBrock, a 71-year-old female with known unstable angina due to coronary artery disease. During the week prior to admission, she underwent an outpatient procedure of diagnostic heart catheterization. At the time of this heart catheterization procedure, the patient was found to have occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery in two separate locations. Due to the findings from this diagnostic procedure, the patient is now admitted for a scheduled percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with a plan for stent insertions. The patient also has known secondary diagnoses of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and current tobacco use. The hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and unstable angina are currently being treated with medications. The patient was taken to the procedure room and underwent a PTCA of the left anterior descending coronary artery with insertion of two Taxus drug- eluting stents, one at each occlusion site.
