Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with cardiopulmonary bypass for stenosis of the most proximal part of the left anterior descending coronary artery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An 85 year old man with unstable angina pectoris was treated successfully with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty supported by cardiopulmonary bypass and intra-aortic balloon pumping. Coronary angiography had shown stenoses in both the left main stem and left anterior descending coronary arteries. Drug treatment had been ineffective and he was too old for coronary arterial bypass grafting.

OBJECTIVES The percutaneous coronary artery angioplasty is routinely being used worldwide for the management of short and discrete coronary artery stenosis. The purpose of this report is to address the potentially lethal complication among the variety of surgical problems in conjunction with this procedure. The case also illustrates the potential pitfalls in the management of CAD. METHODS A 6...

PURPOSE To compare percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using stent implantation versus coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with multiple vessel disease with involvement of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). METHODS 230 patients with multiple vessel disease and severe stenosis of the proximal LAD (113 with PCI, 117 with CABG). They were a cohort of pa...

SEE PAGE 2717 S ignificant proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) disease may jeopardize up to 50% of the left ventricular myocardium (1) and predicts worse outcomes (2), with a significantly worse 5-year patient survival rate (90% vs. 98%) than downstream LAD lesions (3). In the 1990s, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showed that all treatment modalities, namely, medical therapy, pe...
متن کاملMinimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting decreases hospital stay and cost.
OBJECTIVE The authors performed a retrospective cost analysis for patients undergoing revascularization of their left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery either by standard coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), or minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICABG). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Minimally invasive CABG has becom...

We report a case of acute occlusion of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) successfully treated with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) under the use of percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass support (PCPS) and subsequent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). CABG was started only two hours after admission, and subsequent reperfusion of left anterior descending artery (LAD) a...
