A Simple, Effective, and Durable Treatment Choice for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: Stents or Surgery?
SEE PAGE 1102 L eft main coronary artery disease (CAD) (stenosis $50%) is found in 5% to 7% of patients undergoing coronary angiography and is associated with poor prognosis because occlusion of the left main coronary artery compromises blood flow to about 75% of the left ventricle (1). Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has been the standard of care because of its significant survival...
متن کاملTreatment of Left Main Coronary Artery Disease.
When coronary arteriography was developed in the early 1960s, the very high risk associated with obstructive left main coronary artery disease became evident; this risk was related to the large volume of myocardium supplied by this vessel. Among patients receiving the medical therapy available at the time, the 5-year mortality approached 60%, and the survivors usually had severe symptoms, inclu...
متن کامل[Left main coronary artery disease].
There are many causes of left main coronary artery disease, the first of which is atherosclerosis. Other rarer causes may be observed, such as acute and chronic occlusions, spasm and primary and secondary dissection. The prevalence of stenosis of the left main coronary artery at coronary angiography is about 5%. The risk factors are the same as for coronary artery disease. The symptoms are angi...
متن کاملLeft Main Coronary Artery Disease: traditional risk factors in a study from northwest of Iran
Background & Aims: Significant left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) is found in 3 to 6 percent of all patients who undergo coronary arteriography. LMCAD usually requires an emergent surgery that has a higher rate of mortality and complications. The risk factors of left main involvement in previous studies are controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the traditional risk factor...
متن کاملRevascularization of left main coronary artery disease.
Coronary artery disease with left main stenosis is associated with the highest mortality of any coronary lesion. Studies in the 1970s and 1980s comparing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and medical therapy showed a significant survival benefit with revascularization. In the angioplasty era, initial experience with percutaneous intervention was associated with poor clinical outcomes. As a...
