Current treatment of left main coronary artery disease

Abstract: SOUHRNPacienti s těžkou stenózou kmene levé koronární tepny (left main stem, LMS) jsou vzhledem k rozsahu postižení myokardu ve velmi vysokém riziku závažných kardiovaskulárních příhod. Po třech letech dosahuje mortalita farmakologicky léčených nemocných s významnou stenózou LMS 50 %. Za zlatý standard léčby významné stenózy LMS, zvláště při současném postižení několika koronárních tepen, je považován aortokoronární bypass (CABG). Řada studií prokázala, že perkutánní koronární intervence (PCI) může u pacientů … Show more

“…The LMCA is different from the other coronary arteries because it has relatively greater elastic tissue content; this feature explains the elastic recoil and its high restenosis rate, following balloon angioplasty procedures [5]. Since onethird of patients have trifurcated LMCA, this anatomical feature is important because in distal LMCA stenosis, PCI is much more difficult in trifurcated lesions than the bifurcated ones [6]. In 1% of the population, the LMCA is absent, and the LAD and LCx arteries originate directly from the aorta via separate ostia.…”

“…Distal LMS stenosis can be treated by a single-stent or by a two-stent strategy. The choice of the strategy is based on: plaque distribution, the angle between the two branches, the diameter of LAD and LCx and the presence of side branch stenosis [6]. Although the data are challenging, patients with distal LM stenosis treated with single-stent strategy have a TVR rate relatively low (<5%), nearly equivalent to patients with ostial or mid-shaft LM stenosis treated by the same strategy [35].…”

“…The aim of the present study is to find out the frequency of LMS stenosis in patients undergoing coronary angiography in the population of South Punjab. We know that LMS stenosis is of high importance, because it supplies blood to the 84% of the myocadium 11 . So, this study result will help us to determine the magnitude of LMS stenosis in our patients of South Punjab.…”
