Unprotected left main coronary artery stenting: immediate and medium- term outcomes of 140 elective procedures

Abstract: Stenting of unprotected LMCA stenosis provided excellent immediate results, particularly in good CABG candidates. Medium-term results were good, with a restenosis rate of 23%, similar to that seen after stenting at other coronary sites. Stenting deserves to be considered a safe and effective alternative to CABG in institutions performing large numbers of PTCAs.

“…At 1 year, 9 in 10 had been spared CABG. Similar data were recently reported by Silvestri et al, 30 who defined a low-risk group with age Ͻ75 years, no prior CABG, LVEF Ն35%, and the absence of renal failure, poor coronary runoff, or severe respiratory failure, whose 1-year mortality was 7% and need for revascularization 28%. For purposes of comparison, recent data from the Society of Thoracic Surgery 31 indicate an in-hospital mortality for patients with left main disease of 3.9%, and data from The Cleveland Clinic Foundation show an in-hospital mortality of 2.3%, with a 1-year mortality of 11.3%.…”

“…Definitions of several patient characteristics, such as "not a candidate for bypass surgery," are subjective and certainly varied between institutions. Finally, although generally supported by the experiences of Kosuga et al, 9 Park et al, 10 Silvestri et al, 30 Chanhan et al, 35 and others, the low-risk group identified in this study requires prospective confirmation.…”

“…In general, the natural history of LMT disease is poor and CABG is recommended for its treatment; [8][9][10][11][12] however, several recent studies have demonstrated that PCI can be performed safely and effectively for LMT lesions. 13,14 Although 86% of PCIs excluding AMI had evidence of myocardial ischemia, 24% only had symptoms without objective evidence of ischemia. In these cases, PCI might be performed based only on the angiographic findings and it is necessary to assess the appropriateness of those indications for PCI in the study cases.…”

“…Некоторые авторы указывали на более благоприятный прогноз у пациентов низкого риска (молодой возраст, нормальная сократительная функция левого желудочка, локализация поражения в устье или теле ствола ЛКА). У этой категории пациентов уровень годичной летальности составлял от 3,4% [27] до 7% [26], а по данным трехлетнего наблюдения, не превышал 7,4% [25]. Однако уровень повторной реваскуляризации даже у данной категории пациентов находился в диапазоне от 28 до 32%.…”
