Pseudo Left Main Coronary Artery Disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A 72-year-old hypercholesterolemic gentleman with anginal symptoms Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) class III and a positive thallium scintigraphy with ischemia localized to the anterior wall, was submitted to coronary angiography. Initial images indicated a distal left main coronary artery stenosis (left upper panel, large arrow). However, subsequent views pointed to a “phantom” artery imaged belatedly (right upper panel, short arrow). It was only after a tedious exercise that successful engagement of a separate ostium of another left coronary artery clarified the anatomy of this patient (left lower panel). It thus became apparent that it was a separately originating, diseased left anterior coronary artery descending (LAD) which explained the localization of this patient’s ischemia to the anterior wall. This was finally remedied with successful direct stenting of the long stenotic segment of the LAD performed during the same session (right lower panel), thus obviating emergency coronary artery bypass grafting, which would have been a plausible course of action, should one have relied upon the initial imaging perfectly mimicking a left main disease.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
