A 69-year-old male presented for evaluation of a carotid bruit. Carotid ultrasound demonstrated the unique finding of a large, highly mobile atheroma in the proximal left internal carotid artery. The presence of a mobile atheroma confers an even higher risk of stroke, so this presentation posed a dilemma in terms of endovascular versus open surgical management strategies.

Objective Our study aims to evaluate the possible relationship between coronary artery dominance and its effect on accurately identifying reversible ischemia of inferior/inferior-lateral wall on cardiac perfusion imaging. Background Coronary artery dominance is conventionally defined by the vessel which gives the rise to the AV nodal artery/posterior descending artery (PDA). Previous studies have explored the potential effect of coronary dominance on the accuracy of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) tests in detecting inferior/inferior-lateral wall ischemia; further evidence is necessary to study that potential effect.
