ABSTRACT

The authors give an account of a 59-year-old patient with a significant stenosis of the left main coronary artery and occlusion of the right coronary artery, occlusion of the ramus interventricularis anterior after failure of surgical revascularization and with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 20%. The authors performed a successful percutaneous coronary angioplasty of the left main coronary artery with an implantation of a stent. They discuss contemporary possibilities and limitations of catheterization treatment of stenosis of the left main coronary artery.
