I did the guy this morning. 120kg! I found his totally occluded LAD, which 
barely showed up as a twig on angio, to be 2.5mm. We all know this to be a 
very common finding. The Ramus was easy. And we found a little langiappe, 
which is Cajun for "a little something extra". He had a  D1 which his 
previous stent had jailed off and was >2mm! Threw in a ring. No more MR. He 
jumped off bypass with PA's 20mmHg less than on induction.
I love my job.
