Left main percutaneous coronary intervention.
The introduction of drug-eluting stents and advances in catheter techniques have led to increasing acceptance of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as a viable alternative to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) for unprotected left main disease. Current guidelines state that it is reasonable to consider unprotected left main PCI in patients with low to intermediate anatomic complexity who...
متن کاملAcute and Long Term Outcomes of Coronary Intervention in Unprotected Left Main Lesions
Introduction : Significant left main coronary artery stenosis jeopardizes the entire myocardium of the left ventricle and has the worst prognosis of any form of coronary artery disease. Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been considered as the standard therapeutic approach for such patients. There are limited data on the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention (PC...
متن کاملPercutaneous coronary intervention in unprotected left main coronary artery disease.
Percutaneous coronary intervention for unprotected left main coronary artery disease is potentially an important intervention in surgically unstable patients. A detailed review of medical record and visual analysis of coronary angiography and PCI procedure was undertaken. The study was conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, from January 2003 to December 2007. Patients included in the st...
متن کاملImpact of Operator Experience and Volume on Outcomes After Left Main Coronary Artery Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the impact of operator experience on prognosis after left main coronary artery (LM) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND LM PCI can be technically challenging and potentially risky considering the amount of supplied myocardium. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent unprotected LM PCI at a single institution were included an...
متن کاملHow to optimize left main percutaneous coronary intervention.
Despite unfavorable outcomes in the early era of LMCA percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), interventionalists have continued attempting percutaneous treatment for LMCA stenosis (3). Technical advances in PCI and stent technology, particularly with the widespread availability of drug-eluting stents (DES), have led physicians to re-evaluate the role of PCI as a viable alternative treatment f...
