We propose a right lateral (90120° RAO) with 30° cranial angiographic view to expose the bifurcationof the left main coronary artery (LMCA) when previously used routine projections were inefficient at clearlyshowing this region.

A reproducibility study, conducted withthe participation of 2 independent observers, judged the effectiveness of the proposed projection. The Prevalenceand Bias Adjusted Kappa (PABAK) index, with a 95% confidence interval (CI), was used to demonstrate theintensity of intra/inter-observer agreement...
