Revascularization 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...
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 کاملRevascularization for Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: An Evolution in Clinical Decision Making
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been considered the standard therapy for unprotected (nonrevascularized) left main coronary disease (ULM). However, increasing experience with ULM percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has resulted in high procedural success and favorable early and late clinical outcomes. In particular, reduction in clinical restenosis with drug-eluting stents, evol...
متن کاملTrans Ulnar Approach for Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease
Significant unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease occurs in 5-7% of patients undergoing coronary angiography [1,2] and patients with ULMCA disease treated medically have a three years mortality rate of 50% [3,4]. Advances in percutaneous intervention techniques and stent technology have allowed evolution of the role of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main disea...
متن کاملImpact of the extent of coronary artery disease on outcomes after revascularization for unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to examine the impact of the extent of coronary disease on long-term outcomes after coronary stenting or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery for unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) stenosis. BACKGROUND The differential outcome of ULMCA revascularization according to the coronary involvement remains uncertain. METHODS From the MAIN-COMPARE...
