The RCA, proximal was 95% stenosed and the distal 80% stenosed. The mid LAD was 85% stenosed and the distal LAD was 85% stenosed. There was four Multi-Link Vision bare metal stents placed to decrease all four lesions to 0%. Following intervention, Mr. ABC was admitted to 7 Ardmore Tower under Cardiology Service under the direction of Dr. XYZ. Mr. ABC had a noncomplicated post-intervention hospital course.
