Endoluminal stenting for unprotected left main stenosis in Takayasu's arteritis.
We describe 2 patients with Takayasu's arteritis and left main coronary stenosis who were considered poor candidates for surgical revascularization. Elective left main coronary artery balloon angioplasty followed by endoluminal stenting was performed with excellent results. At 3-mo follow-up, one patient had evidence of in-stent restenosis, but the other remained asymptomatic. In selected patie...

Embolization-induced bronchial ischemia appeared to be the only potential cause for the observed lesions, and, to our knowledge, this constitutes the first report of late bronchial sequelae following BAE. Despite balloon-catheter dilatation of the ...

Having applied exclusion criteria, 50 patients (i.e., 5.63% of all those examined) were entered into a retrospect...
متن کاملLeft Main Coronary Artery Stenosis
A retrospective study was carried out in 114 unoperated and 197 operated patients having left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis 2 50%. Including the operative mortality of 9.1%, survival at seven years was significantly greater following pure aortocoronary bypass graft surgery, 77.5% as compared to 48.5% for the unoperated patients (P < 0.01).
