2. Figure 1
The effects of coronary artery stenting on left ventricular function. Left ventricular function and wall motion are illustrated echocardiographically in one patient before (Pre) and after (Post) stenting of the left main coronary artery. Prior to the stenting, the left ventricular ejection fraction was reduced, and the left ventricular apex was dyskinetic. Postprocedure left ventricular function and wall motion completely normalized. ED = end-diastole; ES = end-systole.

3. Figure 2
Left main coronary artery compression in a patient with PPH. The appearance of the left main coronary artery prior to stenting (Pre) is shown. There is a tight ostial stenosis with gradual enlargement to the distal left main artery with a normal appearance of the remaining coronary artery tree. Following stenting (Post), the left coronary artery looks entirely normal.
