Intraoperative detection of deeply embedded coronary arteries is difficult. This study describes an effective method to identify embedded coronary arteries by intraoperative cine angiography. Two embedded left anterior descending coronary arteries were successfully identified by intraoperative cine angiography. We believe that the intraoperative cineangiography is helpful for surgeons in this difficult situation.

Objective: Atherosclerosis underlies the most common etiologies of mortality worldwide, resulting in nearly 10 million deaths annually. In atherosclerosis, inflammation, metabolic factors, and hemodynamics cause the accumulation of extracellular lipids and the formation of plaques in the tunica intima of specific arteries. Atherosclerotic plaques primarily form in the coronary and carotid arteries, the aorta, and the peripheral arteries of the lower extremities.
