Okay first anatomy. The LAD is the Left Anterior descending artery. It provides the front (anterior) wall of the heart with blood. The RCA is the Right Coronary Artery, and provides the back (inferior) wall of the heart with blood

So now the procedures. The PTCA stand for PercuTaneous Coronary Angioplasty. This mens that they inflated a balloon to clear blockage, and didn't place a stent. The intracoronary stent, just means they placed a stent in the artery.

I have included a link of a YouTube video.
