Representative case of an 85-year-old man who underwent emergent PCI for LAD. 99mTc-sestamibi (MIBI) scintigraphy and 11C-acetate PET were performed 10 days after PCI. a Early and delayed images of MIBI SPECT. Accelerated MIBI clearance is observed in the anterior region. b Polar maps of MIBI in early (upper) and delayed (lower) images. c Oxidative metabolism (k mono) in each segment. d 11C-acetate PET time-activity curve at the mid-anterior wall. Mid-anterior wall exhibited accelerated MIBI clearance in MIBI scintigraphy. e 11C-acetate PET time-activity curve at the basal-anterior wall. Basal-anterior wall showed normal perfusion in rest and delayed images in MIBI scintigraphy.
