Percutaneous left ventricular assist device to support PCI of unprotected left main coronary artery disease
Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has long surpassed coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as the most common revascularization strategy in patients with coronary artery disease [1], left main coronary artery disease (LMCD) is regarded a relative contraindication to PCI [2]. This lack of enthusiasm was related to studies showing that although balloon angioplasty was effective i...
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 کاملDrug-eluting stent supported percutaneous coronary intervention for unprotected left main disease.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the clinical and angiographic outcomes of unselected patients receiving drug-eluting stents for unprotected left main disease. BACKGROUND The results of several series of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main disease in the pre-drug-eluting stent era have arisen concerns on the safety and mid-term efficacy of PCI. METHODS Consecutiv...

متن کاملComparison of percutaneous versus surgical revascularization of severe unprotected left main coronary stenosis in matched patients.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been the recommended treatment for patients with significant left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis. Advances in stent technology have invigorated investigations into the suitability of a percutaneous approach for these patients. Favorable short-term results from nonrandomized comparisons were previously reported. Patients (n = 97) who underwent per...
