Efficacy of Stenting on Lesions of Unprotected Main Stem of Left Coronary Artery / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of stenting on unprotected left main coronary artery(LMCA) lesions.Methods 126 patients underwent unprotected LMCA stenting were analyzed retrospectively.Results 151 coronary stents were deployed in 126 patients without acute myocardial infarction(AMI) and death.Inhospital major adverse cardiac events(MACE) developed in 3 cases,including 3 cases of AMI,1 case of target lesion revascularization(TLR) and 2 died.The patients were followed up for 1～43 months.MACE developed in 15 cases,including 12 cases of TLR,3 cases died.Angiography was performed in 40 cases during follow-up,the restenosis happened in 19 cases.The focus or the type of operation didn't influence the restenosis rate.Conclusion Selective stenting for left main coronary artery disease is safe and feasible.It can bring good in-hospital and long-term outcomes.
