Progression of left main coronary artery stenosis following left anterior descending coronary artery angioplasty

Abstract: Although recent clinical experience indicates a high success rate, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is still associated with serious complications which usually occur during or shortly after the procedure and are principally related to the lesion or segment of vessel being dilated. We report 2 cases of subacute progression within months of left main stenosis following successful, uncomplicated left anterior descending (LAD) coronary PTCA. Identification of left main trunk involvement may m… Show more

“…Thus, it cannot be ruled out that firstly there were attempts to treat LMD patients by PCI and in case of percutaneous treatment failure or restenosis they were referred for CABG. The second possible explanation could be catheter-induced left main coronary artery stenosis resulting from endothelial injury by the guiding catheter and other equipment used in PCI [15,16]. However, this mechanism cannot be overestimated.…”
